According to the latest browser version market share from Net Applications Firefox still have a long way to go:

IE 7.0       46.45% 

IE 6.0       26.38% 

Firefox 2.0  16.13% 

Safari 3.1    4.28% 

Firefox 3.0   2.31% 

Safari 3.0    1.15%

even adding together the Firefox 2 and 3 it doesn't even match the old IE 6. Sad but true. At least according to these stats.
