Firefox Growth Slowing?

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the reaching-equilibrium dept.

ninja_assault_kitten writes "Silicon.com has an interesting article on the apparently slowing growth of Firefox. To quote the article, 'The slackening of Firefox's growth could mean that the browser has converted a substantial proportion of its natural constituency, thought to be early adopters and the technically savvy. It could also show that the browser's widely publicised security flaws have begun to undermine the foundation's argument that people should switch from IE to be safer.' One thing's for sure, with the release of 1.0.3 and now 1.0.4 we can probably expect to breach the 80 million download mark shortly."

    But if Slashdot doesn't post enough stories, we'll get stories like Slashdot Growth Slowing?, which is kind of useless really.
