Early this morning I was catching up on a number of projects and I noticed that Net Applications is reporting a 1.04% jump in Firefox market share for November 2007. Even accounting for seasonal fluctuations, that's pretty significant. What's also interesting, is that Firefox 3 is already starting to show up with a 0.06% share and that their data roughly reflects what we're seeing with more than 93% of Firefox users using the latest release.

Of course, this is only one source and it's still really hard, and somewhat frustrating, to get a good picture of browser usage particularly outside of the US and Western Europe.
John Lilly posted a couple of weeks ago about how we're thinking about market share in general and what we're measuring today to help us making decisions. Well worth the read if you're at all interested.
