From the “how many times have you downloaded it?’ files:
Mozilla’s Firefox is nearing a major milestone – 1 Billion downloads. That’s BILLION with a B.
Now that’s not a billion users, mind you it’s downloads and hey who among us hasn’t downloaded Firefox more than once?
There’s a counter up on Twitter, updating every five minutes or so. The tweet i saw was:
999,024,648 downloads at 20.3 per second on 2009-07-30 21:09 UTC.
It’s a major milestone for sure.
In terms of how many actual users Firefox has that number is somewhat smaller. In May, Mozilla reported 270 million active users.
