I apologize that I did not prrface my comments as North America but I did specify a University setting meaning as the figures show the bulk of traffic is from educational institutions (.edu),
I am happy to see that Firefox is more popular elsewhere in the world. I also would expect it to be much higher at a site like this with mostly young,majority male, electronic enthusiasts.
But in the world of the North American educational and scientific community 141,000 discrete users is no small sample. You must, of course, use unique visitors because hits and general trafffic is fairly useless.Many sites have much traffic but a small number of unique users (would discribe this site)

 

I just wanted to get your attention on this one. You must have noticed, that the visitors consisted a lot people from organisations, which use M$ software nearly by default. Poeple don't install 3rd party software to computers they don't own (or aren't even allowed to do that). For example, the company i work in, don't allow personnel to install other software than what the company have approved to the companys computers, in fear of viruses/spyware.

 

The first "link" i put, had a site as a sample, that targets people between age of 20-30 (and it was number of unique visitors).
