    What may be even more important and interesting is how many copie were un-installed because firefox failed to render a significant number pages correctly (depending on you definition of correct - me I dont care whose fault it is, it looks right or doesnt, thus I un-installed within 2 days).

    yeah.. just use your browsers refresh button and watch the numbers count from were they last started. I watched it cound the same number over and over again by hitting the refresh button.. kinda lame, great idea, but very lame. it should only show downloads that complete and when they complete count the number.
