I looked at my site statistics today, and found that almost 40% of the visits to this blog are by using a Firefox browser.
I find this very interesting, because many of the sites I use regularly are not set up for Firefox. For example, when using Foundation Search I’ve had to switch over to Internet Explorer, because I am unable to get the site to let me save a window as a text file in Firefox. Other sitesare somewhat illegible in Firefox.
I don’t have Lexis, but I remember that I could never get Lexis to work with Opera, another browser, and I don’t know how if works with Firefox.
I hope vendors and information providers catch up soon. I think my blog readers are pretty representative of the prospect research community as a whole, which means that almost 1/2 of them can’t use many sites without switching browsers.
