Fifty million, that is. In just under 6 months, Firefox has been downloaded over 50 million times. That has got to be some new record for open source projects.
To commemorate the event, Mozilla has released a limited edition of Firefox 50 coins.
I wonder, are they counting downloads of the updates as well? How does that skew the overall statistic?







birthday happy
The 50 mil. is including updates.
What I wonder is if includes the nightly builds. That would *really* skew things.
Heh some person in Japan with his nice gigabit line probably downloaded it 20 million times for the heck of it. :P
I read an official-ish response somewhere, either /. or Spread Firefox, that the count does not include the “auto” updates from within Firefox itself. Since only full releases are available on getfirefox (no updates/patches), its hard to tell who already had Fx but decided to download it off the website and not using the update tool.
Well for most people the update tool doesnt usually work in providing automatic updates as far as a full next version is concerned.
