It depends on how you are counting "majority." According to w3schools, IE6 & IE7 combined make up 46% of browsers right now and Firefox makes up 44%.

If IE had taken Opera & Firefox's lead a long time ago we would not still have this problem. CSS is not the problem, support for CSS is the problem.

Hopfully the IE8 will swallow the IE6 & IE7 market because we really need to take advantage of these great "display: table" properties that have been around for the last 11 years.

w3schools overestimates the firefox share because there are far more web designer/developers going to their site. The actual breakdown is more like 66% IE6/IE7 and 33% FF/Opera/Safari. Opera and Safari are a couple percentage points each.
