> Presently 2/3rds of our users are using Firefox 3

Over the period of 7-20 October 2008, I logged the UA strings of 2097
visits to an eclectic mix of 20 of my Web pages.  Bots and crawlers
accounted for 39% of those visits.  Recognizable browsers accounted for
61%.

Of the 420 visits by some Gecko browser, 401 allowed me to identify the
Gecko version.  rv:1.9 appeared in 75% of those 401; rv:1.8 appeared in
25%.

While this might seem to strengthen the argument in favor of ending
support for Gecko 1.8.x -- 3/4 (not merely 2/3) using Gecko 1.9.x -- 25%
of the Gecko users (including SeaMonkey and Camino users, both of which
appeared in my log) should not be ignored.

Go to Mozdev at <http://www.mozdev.org/> for quick access to
extensions for Firefox, Thunderbird, SeaMonkey, and other
Mozilla-related applications.  You can access Mozdev much
more quickly than you can Mozilla Add-Ons.
