Firefox, Opera downloads surge after IE security scare
Internet browsers Firefox and Opera have experienced a massive surge in downloads since the security flaw in Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 (IE6) was exposed.
Firefox owner Mozilla claims it has experienced more than 300,000 extra downloads over a four-day period in Germany that started last Friday. Opera downloads in Germany amounted to over 18,000 in a day over last weekend.
Downloads in Australia were up more than 40 per cent for the Norwegian-based browser maker.
Google would not comment on whether or not it had experienced a surge in Chrome downloads.
