Firefox Mozilla is soon going to reach 1 Billion downloads! According to the Firefox Download Guesstimator, it’s going to hit the number, 100,000,000
Well Firefox 3.5 was downloaded more than 4 Million times after the release within 24 hours!! Beat that Internet Explorer! Firefox 3.0 also has a World record for the most downloaded browser in a day too!
Well Mozilla is making up new stats! It seems to have taken up atleast 30% of Market Share and the Market share of IE6 has dropped to 60%!! Go FireFox, Go!
I think this may have increased due to those Die IE8 campaigns. It’s obvious when one browser goes, obviously someone else will have to come to replace it and i think Firefox is capable of replacing Internet Explorer 6, anytime.
Most Sites have also dropped support for IE6 and are asking users to shift to Firefox which again gives a boost to FireFox + the GreaseMonkey script which allows users to edit webpages as to their viewing has made it very popular within the webmasters.
