Firefox market share ...

I just looked at a web page that reports web browser market share. Assuming those numbers resemble reality, Only Firefox and Safari are gaining market share while Internet Explorer is losing market share. How long 'until Firefox will catch IE. Well, pretty simple. Over the last 12 months, IE has been losing roughly .27% market share. Assuming this trend continues and that all of IE's losses will go mostly to Firefox, it will only take approximately 136 months (that's 11 years and 4 months) for Firefox to get equal market share ... Something to look forward to. Why am I worried about browsers? Well, I am working on some frontend stuff (PHP, JavaScript, DHTML) and it's still a pain in the butt to make things look equally great in all kinds of browsers.
