Since the start of February, the statistics capabilities of addons.mozilla.org<\/a> have been upgraded. It is now possible to see the number of active users on a daily basis, where before it was only shown on a monthly basis. This shows some interesting facts about Lightning.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

What is pretty apparent from the stats is that Lightning’s usage is much higher during the week than on the weekend. This is a stark contrast to Mozilla’s main application Firefox, which is usually used by more people on the weekend than during the week.
\n[UPDATE: As I was informed, Firefox’s usage numbers are also much higher during the week than on the weekend. It seems that I mixed up Firefox’s market share numbers (which are normally higher on the weekend than during the week) with its total usage numbers.]<\/strong><\/p>\n

On Windows the usage numbers during the week are about twice as high as on the weekends, while on the other operating systems (Linux, MacOS X, Solaris, *BSD, OS\/2) the usage numbers are just about 30% – 40% lower on the weekends.<\/p>\n

This seems to indicate that we have a lot of business users out there using Lightning and that most of these business users use Windows as their platform of choice.<\/p>\n

What we also see is that roughly 87.5% – 89.1% of our users are on the Windows platform, 7.6% – 8.6% use Linux and 3.1% – 3.8% are MacOS X users. Users of other operating systems range between 0.13% and 0.16%.<\/p>\n

Those of you, that want to play more with our download numbers, can do this on the Lightning Statistics Dashboard<\/a>, where you can find much more data to play with.<\/p>\n

PS: Don’t ask me about the low numbers on five days in early February. These are clearly incorrect and probably a result of an addons.mozilla.org<\/a> bug, that was fixed later on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
