fire fox has less than 5% mrket share

We host many web sites and a few months ago we started keeping stats of
visits.

Our stats show that Firefox has less than 5% market share.

I also read that Firefox reloads pages that you visit in the background and
caches them for future visits leading to a higher number of hits than it
should have.

Yes I have read that Firefox has 30% market share here in Australia. I know
that is simply not true.

Here are the stats from a full year on one of our sites, almost 4
million uniques.

MS Internet Explorer 164526821 82.8 %
Firefox 21796558 10.9 %
Safari 4082055 2 %

Now, this set is just from Dec.. So FF is picking up steam.

MS Internet Explorer 10243745 80 %
Firefox 1733284 13.5 %
Safari 316948 2.4 %

Also note, all those cute Mac commercials are paying off. Just look at
that .4%!

Hahaha.. Had to.. Yeah, there's FF for Mac too.. At any rate, just the
stats.

General audience, 75% woman keyed site.

There seem to be some sites that have a higher proportion of Firefox
users than others. Perhaps your site is Firefox-unfriendly (i.e. non
standards-compliant code or features) that discourage Firefox users from
visiting or even require Firefox users to change the Firefox User-Agent
string to report Internet Explorer as is often necessary when visiting
sites with Microsoft-centric design.

But wouldn't storing them in the cache led to fewer hits since Firefox
would be loading them locally instead of fetching them off the Internet?

Why is this a concern for you?

no, they handle fire fox ok, and the sites are purely business and have no
reason to pull one user over the other
