well, don't forget that doesn't include all of the linux .iso's being downloaded out there that include firefox as default. The vast majority of distros include firefox. Plus if firefox wasn't a part of the .iso download, then it is typically installed from software repositories outside of the normal firefox website tracking.

Good for them...still doesn't take away the fact that when I design flash ads and scripts for them(this is what I do for living), I have to work twice because some don't work on firefox.
