OneStat.com is reporting that Firefox’s global market share has risen to 8.69 percent, that’s an increase of 0.24 percent since February.

“It seems that the rapid growth of the global usage share of Mozilla’s Firefox is slowing down at the moment,” said Niels Brinkman, co-founder of OneStat.com. “It looks like users of Internet Explorer for Apple’s Mac are switching to Safari because the global usage share [of Safari] is still growing.”

Apple’s Safari browser is now up to 1.26 percent of the browser market. Nonetheless, Microsoft’s Internet Explorer still commands an 86.63 percent of the browser market, down 0.65 percent since February.

andPOP itself has seen a significant growth in the use of Firefox on its own web site by as much as 15 percent, while Internet Explorer’s usage has dropped below 75 percent.
