Kevin, this is a great post. It totally reflects what I think as a Netizen, a part-time Web developer and web content producer.
I would like to point that Firefox is more around 20% market share in Europe overall than 30%, if I believe the latest XitiMonitor.com numbers.

(But we’ll get there, eventually: I work hard on this!)
In the meantime, some countries such as Germany, Finland, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Slovenia have reached 30% market share, or are very close to it.
