   Firefox now has over 79 million downloads   
   and has captured over 14% of the market, some estimates make it as high   
   as 22% worldwide   
      
   As well, Firefox is NEWER than IE ! Not older!   
   In fact Mozilla and Netscape 7 are both newer than IE!   
   So if the company is intent on not supporting 'somewhat outdated'   
   browsers, then they shouldnt be supportting IE!   
      
   Sorry, but the 99% figure is pure hyperbole, it never was true.
