Here are the stats for drupal.org from April:


Firefox       47.0 %
IE               35.7 %
Safari          4.1 %
Mozilla        4.1 %
Opera         3.0 %
Unkown      2.2 %
Konqueror  1.3 %
Wget            0.5 %

IE's share has been dropping from 42.4% in September, for May it is 
currently only at 30.x%
