Firefox Downloads Reach 75 Million

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the look-out-mcdonalds dept.

WindozeSux writes "Today Mozilla Firefox has reached its 75 millionth download. The Mozilla staff find this a morale booster since recent security vulnerabilities have slightly lowered the browser's growth rate. 'We're beefing up the management on the project. The project is still very healthy. We're seeing continued corporate interest and have a lot of large organizations that want to do deployments,' said Chris Hoffman."

    Don't worry.
    With a huge corporation doing everything they can to support Firefox, how can it fail?
    The day MS changes its tactics I may start to worry.

    I'm trying to look at your screenshot, but IE6 doesn't even say there's a picture there, what the fuck is png, everyone knows pictures are .jpg!

    The number is big, and still increasing.


    Well, I for one would be really surprised if it started declining.

    The Firefox team should just use the Windows Genuine Advantage© Program to validate users, allowing one download per licensed machine. That way, only Javascript hackers will be able to fudge the download numbers. Simple. I should be a marketing exec.
