Firefox Tops 100 Million Downloads

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Wednesday October 19, 2005 @05:54AM from the shop-smart-shop-f-mart dept.

webslash writes "Mozilla's Firefox web browser crossed the 100 million downloads milestone today. Webmasters are adding Firefox download counters on websites to keep track of the downloads in real time. Firefox celebrated 50 million downloads just 6 months back and with the release of Firefox 1.5 Beta 2. Additionally the Firefox 2/3 roadmap also looks promising."

As long as we're dropping anecdotes, I never close Firefox on my P4/2.4 with 1GB of memory and never see any excessive swapping under Linux.
With a 2.4 GHz Athlon 64, 2 GB of DDR400, and two 7200 RPM 8 MB cache drives in RAID 0
You were just waiting for a chance to slip that into the conversation, weren't you?

..it counts as 8 downloads. I'm praying you're not a C programmer.

if you're so anti-firefox, why does your "CoMmAnD CeNTeR" have a firefox desktop image?
