400 million downloadsToday Firefox crossed the 400 million downloads mark as tracked by SpreadFirefox.com.

It has been 1001 days since Firefox 1.0 was released back in November 9, 2004 which results in an average 400K downloads per day, although in the last months it’s really been more like 500K downloads per day.

It’s also a nice improvement compared to the 300 million milestone achieved in past February. At that time, the download rate was about 363,636.3636..downloads a day.

Quoting myself: “As usual, it must be noted that it says nothing about the actual number of users (except they are a pretty big bunch) as a single user may have downloaded it several times for his/her different computers or a single download may have been installed in several computers. So relax, smile (or curse) and move on.”
