Firefox Hits 400 Million Downloads

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the grats-little-browser dept.

Owen Dansley writes "Firefox hit another milestone this past Friday, when it passed the 400 million download mark. From its launch in 2004 it took one year to reach 100 million downloads, hitting 200 million downloads just one year later. According to figures released by US consultancy firm Janco and the IT Productivity Center, Firefox currently has 17.4 percent of the browser market — up 5.6 percentage points in the last year. Also within the last year, Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser dropped 9.6 percentage points to a market share of 63.9 percent."

    Day 1

    Mommy, I am only 8 inches long, but I have all my fur. I love the sound of our cats getting castrated. Every time I hear it, I wave my paws. The sound of our dog barking is my favourite lullaby.

    Day 2

    Mommy, today I learned how to suck my PENIS. If you could see me, you could definitely tell that I am a faggot. I'm not big enough to satisfy myself though. It is so nice and warm in here.

    Day 3

    You know what Mommy, I'm a Fox!! I hope that makes you happy. I always want you to be happy. I don't like it when you wimper. You sound so un-furry. It makes me sad too, and I wimper with you even though you can't hear me.

    Day 4

    Mommy, my fur is starting to grow. It is very short and fine, but I will have a lot of it. I spend a lot of my time sucking myself off. I can turn my head and cum in my eyes and stretch my PENIS. I am becoming quite good at it too.

    Day 5

    You went to a /b/tard today. Mommy, he lied to you. He said that I'm not a Fox. I am a Fox Mommy, your Foxy. I think and feel. Mommy, what's abortion?

    Day 6

    I can hear that /b/tard again. I don't like him. He seems cold and like a fursecutor. Something is intruding my home. The /b/tard called it a PENIS. Mommy it's tearing me apart! It burns! Please make him stop! I can't get away from it! Mommy!! HELP me!! No . . .

    Day 7

    Mommy, I'm burning. Now I can yiff in hell, in the fiery pits of eternal damnation. Why didn't you want me Mommy?

    One more furfag that was stopped. Two more balls that will never be able to reproduce. Two more paws that will never touch. A tail that will never wag. A PENIS that will never yiff.

    REPOST THIS IF YOU HATE FURFAGS

  2. Opera! by Tadrith · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Firefox has never really done much for me. I can't really say why. Some of it is the loading time when you launch it, some of it is how the layout gets under my skin. I've had a few bad experiences with it in the past, too. I just never took to it.

    However, I did decide to try Opera 9.23. I hadn't tried Opera in quite some time. I have to say, I'm pleasantly surprised, and really happy with the way Opera works. So, yeah, I guess I'm one of those weirdo Opera users now. :P

    (No real point to the post, I'm just really digging Opera.)
