Firefox Reaches 10 Million Downloads

Posted by timothy on from the conflagration dept.

Samhain138 writes "It seems like Firefox has finally reached 10 million downloads, just a bit over a month after Firefox 1.0 was released. Congratulations!" My favorite extensions (not all of which worked when 1.0 first came out) are all working happily now, too; the latest nightly has been working flawlessly for me all of today.

    how something that used to have updates every three to four months now causes people to wet their pants like this: "the latest nightly has been working flawlessly for me all of today."

    I mean, don't you all have something serious to occupy your time with? Like Half-Life 2 patches? Or writing the walkthrough?

    Or, something?

  10. porn - why firefox will take market share by rich42 · · Score: 5, Funny
    Firefox is generally better than IE for web surfing.

    But where it really shines is for surfing porn (or so I'm told). None of those dang active-x controls, and it handles the pop-ups better.

    don't forget why VHS won over Beta...
