Session Title
Stalking Elusive Firefox Users: How big is our herd?
Session Leader
K Lars Lohn
Summary
Figuring out how many active Firefox users there are is not as simple as just summing the numbers of unique ids we see in the server logs. Have our estimates been over inflated by naive counting? How can we get an accurate count when our users, in protecting their own privacy, are armed to deceive us?
