The latest data from Net Applications shows that the recent release of the Mozilla Firefox version 3.5 web browser has only helped Firefox grab more browser market share.

In fact, all the major web browsers have grown their market share since September 2008… except for Microsoft’s Internet Explorer which is down a significant 6.5 percentage points. And that’s despite Microsoft bringing out Internet Explorer 8.0.

As at July 2009, the browser market share of the top five browsers was as follows:

• Internet Explorer: 67.68 percent (down from 74.18 percent in September 2008)
• Firefox: 22.47 percent (up from 19.07 percent in September 2008)
• Safari: 4.07 percent (up from 2.82 percent in September 2008)
• Chrome: 2.59 percent (up from 1.10 percent in September 2008)
• Opera: 1.97 percent (down from 2.01 percent in September 2008)
