Firefox nears 50 Million Downloads

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the that's-a-lot-of-foxen dept.

bluephone writes "Firefox hit 49,000,000 downloads last night. Today, as we approach 50,000,000, SpreadFirefox is offering prizes for photographic proof of your most amazing spectacles to celebrate. To quote: 'We have a handful of unique prizes that you won't find anywhere else, and we're asking you to do one simple thing to claim one: impress us. As we drive toward 50 million downloads, do something so cool, so unusual and so spectacular to spread Firefox that we can't help but scurry around the Mozilla Foundation to tell every one.' But you don't have long. The Infocraft Firefox Counter shows just over 800,000 downloads left at the time of this submission!"

    What is up with all the "something is going to happen soon!" stories? I suppose it is alright so long as another story doesnt get posted when the event occurs, but if recent history is any indication, that will not be the case.

    My 3D penis enhancing porn browser plugin will certainly win me first prize! What other browser has a big fallice sticking out of the screen.

    Because nothing ever happens around here.

    It's always "something wonderful is about to happen" real soon now.

  4. too politically incorrect for the metamods? by alizard · · Score: 0, Offtopic
    Amazing that the only off-topic/troll rated posts I've gotten since I got on slashdot over a year ago have been about politics and technology-related subjects that offend Bush's sheeple.

    Bashing MS and telling people to download Firefox is offtopic on a Firefox thread?

    Only the largest most highly profitable Oil and Defense Companies should should get Billions of $ in government handouts, like the Bush energy "plan".
