How to determine that? There's no sure fire way to know who does what.
Heck, there's not even a guaranteed method of knowing how many people
actually *use* Firefox (or anything else, for that matter). Having said
that....

....I totally agree with you there.
In the end, _most_ people don't actually _care_ what they use. They
don't know they have a choice, they don't know they have a voice. Most
don't even know they're allowed to have an opinion about such things.
It's only the minority of users that are either apologists or nay-sayers
that get vocal about the issues. Don't get me wrong; I'm glad some
people *do* make a noise, because if they didn't, $DEITY knows /what/
we'd end up with.
