Firefox: 300 million+ downloads
Published: February 12th, 2007
Firefox has reached a new milestone: 300,000,000 downloads since its initial release back in November 9, 2004. That’s 825 days ago, which makes a cute rate of : 363,636.3636..downloads/day.
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.

Do you know how many of those are for Firefox 2.0+?

From what I’ve seen … that’s a running total of the number of Firefox downloads of all versions. No breakout that I’ve seen has been made specifically to Firefox 2.
Plus it says above “300,000,000 downloads since its initial release back in November 9, 2004″.

Nov 9, 2004 would mean version 1.0 and later if I remember correctly. Does that number include downloads as a result of the update manager getting a newer release or bug fix?

Frank, no. That doesn’t include updates done throught Firefox’s update system.

To owner of mozillalinks.com: Have you seen how this page renders in IE7 and Opera? It’s ironic that you don’t test in other browsers.

Daniel, not sure that it’s ironic but lame it is for sure.
I haven’t tested it in IE or Opera in a while, so I guess I screwed something with a recent change. Will check it as soon as I can. Sorry in the meantime. Thanks for the heads up.

I’ve noticed in the last month or two a lot more people accessing my web server are using Firefox, and probably also Torpark. It’s like there has been a big switchover. I’ll be interested to see the stats in coming months.
Generally, I think more people use IE, but people who use the Internet a lot tend to use Firefox.

Ironic would be if the site ‘mozillalinks.org’ didn’t render properly in a mozilla based browser.

I love it! I just hope that things keep getting better and better. I’m a bit worried about 3.0 and a “sophmore slump” or rather a post-non-profit period of change. 3.0 is supposed to have some nice new features, but I’m worried about it bloating and dying. Lets hope not

I went to read http://zaclohrenz.com/blog/?p=220 and am saddened to say it is a FUD site. Not only did they moderate my comments, they didn’t allow any comments through.
My point in my comment on that blog was that you cannot compare the DL’s of IE7 (which was forced on a vast majority of XP users) to a product that is not only an optional install, but a manual process.
Apple vs Oranges.
More Microsoft FUD by a fanboy :(

Wow, impressive. It will be interesting to see how firefox fares as it becomes more and more mainstream, hopefully it doesn’t become like wikipedia and turn into something else completely once it meets mass market.
