Mozilla Firefox 4, has already grabbed 1.95 percent of the global Internet browser market since its launch yesterday, according to a new report from StatCounter.
StatCounter said on the first day of its release Firefox 4 scored higher worldwide than Microsoft’s new Internet Explorer 9 which launched more than a week ago.
Firefox 4 has really hit the ground running and has eclipsed the launch of IE 9,” said Aodhan Cullen, CEO, StatCounter.
“Although IE 9 has undoubtedly been hampered by its lack of compatibility with Windows XP.” By yesterday IE 9 had taken just 0.87% of the worldwide market.
When data for all versions of each browser are calculated, Internet Explorer still leads the global market with 45 percent followed by Firefox with 30 percent and Chrome with 17 percent. In the U.S., IE (all versions combined) leads the market with 48 percent followed by Firefox 26 percent and Chrome 14 percent.
On a monthly basis, StatCounter figures show a steady decline in the IE global market share from 55% in February last year to 45% this year. In the same time frame Google’s Chrome has risen steadily from 7% worldwide to 17%.

Update:
"Firefox 4 Downloads Surpass 50 Million"
The Firefox 4 web browser has proven to be a big hit for Mozilla. At the time of this writing, 52,204,769 people have downloaded Firefox 4.
Europe has the highest number of users with 20,365,540. North America has 16,688,275, and Asia has 9,247,750. Obviously these numbers will be slightly off, considering the downloads are rolling in faster that it takes me to type a single character, but you get the idea of what the markets are like.
At glow.mozilla.org, you can watch the number continue to tick upwards and get a market-by-market breakdown of the numbers.
It had already hit 9 million downloads just a day after it launched. This infographic showed how well it did in its first 48 hours alone:

Update:
"Firefox 4 Passes 100 Million Downloads"
Firefox 4’s downloads stand at 104 million and counting, according to a handy download-stats Website run by Mozilla.
That 100-million-downloads milestone comes a little more than a month since the browser’s March 22 launch. According to analytics firm Net Applications, Firefox’s market share stands at 21.8 percent, trailing Microsoft’s Internet Explorer franchise at 55.92 percent but ahead of Google Chrome at 11.57 percent and Apple’s Safari at 6.61 percent.
Net Applications’ numbers suggest little short-term movement for Firefox’s share, which has barely ticked from 21.74 percent in February. Firefox 4’s share stands at 1.68 percent, lagging previous versions 3.5 and 3.6, the latter of which trails only Internet Explorer 8.0 as Net Applications’ most-used browser version.
