Story: Firefox 'passes 20 percent market share' in Europe

Inaccurate? Simply plain wrong!!!
I have little doubt that Firefox usage is raising in some areas, especially in Europe, as IE hasn't had an upgrade in years. But the report admits that the measurements were made on a sunday, and that doesn't "slightly alter the results", it fakes them completely!
It's like if they did the measurement by counting users accessing a Linux site. That's simply invalid as a count of the actual Firefox market. Claiming that this implies, even between quotes, that Firefox usage is over 20% is simply misrepresenting reality.
