According to CNet Firefox has now reached critical mass

Although Microsoft’s Internet Explorer remains the dominant Web browser, the open-source rival has achieved a critical mass of users–Firefox has been downloaded more than 400 million times–and it’s now common for designers to make sure their Web pages work with the browser.

Are you making sure that the sites you design work in both browsers? I’m still coming across sites by local designers that are failing miserably in Firefox.

Web designers should always be interested in the number of people using the various web browsers and we should be designing sites that render perfectly in all browsers.

Some figures have just been released that show that Firefox users now account for around 19.65% of all Net users in the United States and 12.72% of users globally. There’s also another browser out there that is becoming popular - especially in China. It’s called Maxthon and just a few minutes ago Maxthon had been downloaded over 99 million times.

So how do your sites look in Maxthon?
