As per the latest data by statcounter, firefox is continuously growing even with threats from Google Chrome (which actually is not growing as fast as was reported or assumed earlier) and from Safari which is been pushed by apple heavily in recent times. Firefox now has 27% of browser market share which is the highest ever recorded for firefox where as internet explorer has continued its downward fall and its browser market share is abotu 65% (at the start of this decade, it was easily 95%+)

If you see the stats, you can also see both Safari and Opera are pretty much equal, so safari has certainly catch up with opera. Google Chrome with its market share of about 1.2% has to to do lot of catching. May be when it comes out of beta, has more addons and features, it will catch up. Google will certainly make sure to leverage its current web assets to market Chrome further.
