Firefox goes viral on Microsoft IE

Mozilla Firefox is bringing out viral weapons in an attempt to expand its assault on the dying Internet Explorer.

The latest weapon is a video that is shot along the idea of “we are the world”, bringing internet hot shots such as Ask a Ninja and Tay Zonday (Remember Chocolate Rain?), among many others in for the production.

I think it’s *possible* that Microsoft could lob a lawsuit into the courts over the fake statistics, unless somehow it’s spun as a parody of sorts. Which, is what it appears to be.

But unlike others, I think a lawsuit will bring HUGE attention to Firefox and it will just continue to grow.

By the way… I pulled together stats for ALL of the websites I’m involved in, which represents more than 140,000 unique visits per month, and we’re showing 40.9% use Firefox.
