Firefox 1.0 Gets 25,000,000 Download :)

Mozilla passed the milestone of 25 million downloads. From the official site: "With a minimal set of tools--an affiliate system, a small donations fundraising system, blogs, galleries, forums, and the good old human larynx--you all are spreading Firefox to a quarter of a million people a day. More than 500,000 sites now link to Firefox according to Google--a fivefold increase from six months ago. What was just a small flame 100 days ago has since exploded into a phenomenal demonstration of the power of open source. Tens of thousands of devoted users and fans are a powerful and capable force of change. We have created a special commemorative image if you would like to mark this milestone on your own site." Reader asa also wrote to mention an interview with Bill Gates from this week where the mogul was asked directly what he thought of Firefox.

Sweet :) Hopefully Firefox will start gaining on Microsofts market share to 50-50!

It could happen... Since MS isn't releasing a new version of IE until Longhorn comes out, and Longhorn won't be out for quite a while,  Mozilla has plenty of time to improve Firefox even more.

I wonder if they'll beat IE 6's record for how long it took to find the first exploit  :laugh:
