Firefox: 90.000.000 downloads!

Ninety million!

Nope, that doesn’t mean 90 million Firefox users. There may be more… or less. Some people download once and install on several computers for several people. Linux distributions come with Firefox, and those don’t count as downloads, of course. Same thing for magazine CDs. Or for non-Mozilla (and non-Download.com) mirrors. But, of course, there is the possibility that some people try it, are scared of it :) and uninstall it, coming back to the “safety” (heh!) of IE.

Still, all things considered, there are probably way more than 100 million Firefox users in the world. 100 million less people asking their techie friends or relatives to “come fix my computer… again.”. Which is always a good thing. :)

Not bad, for less than a year.

    Probably not a lot, though it’s a great browser. Both are.
