Firefox (maybe) now most popular in Africa
According to Statcounter Firefox was the most popular web browser in Africa in September 2011. Here is the graph with their statistics:

It is a close call, but the trends are clear: Internet Explorer is becoming less popular, while Firefox and Chrome are still increasing in popularity and together already take up about 60%. Of course it is hard to say how accurate StatCounter's statistics are or how representative it is of reality, but it is still interesting to see.
Although Firefox's popularity isn't on the increase everywhere I believe that the release of Firefox 7 last week can sway things increasingly in Firefox's favour. Naturally the upcoming versions will bring further improvements, but the competition is unlikely to just stand by and watch.
Firefox is available in an increasing number of languages from Africa, and it may just have an increasing influence in Africa in the future.
