Dell bundles Firefox with new systems
Dell UK has started bundling the open source Firefox browser with its desktop PC systems.
The computers ship with both Internet Explorer and Firefox. The bundling deal for now appears to be limited to the United Kingdom.
The shipping deal could give a major push to Firefox's market share. The open source browser in the past year has risen to a 11.5 per cent share in November, according to data from Onestat. The same data pegged Internet Explorer's market share at 85.5 per cent.
