A report on spreadfirefox.com and the counter says that Mozilla Firefox has been downloaded 400 million times within 3 years of its introduction.The pace at which it is spreading is very rapid and has been doubled every year. WIthin 99 days of its starting it got 50 million downloads which grew to 50 millions in 6 months and withing a year there were 100 million downloads.After two years of launching it got 200 million downloads and Today ,Firefox has reached 400 million downloads and demonstrated that not even the world's most powerful companies can keep people from a better, safer, and faster Web experience.The present count rate is 400305249 downloads. THis is really interesting  Source Technoworld

Sorry, but I don't think surveying 39 people is a good indicator that Firefox is doing well  Nonetheless, the 400 million is good news for Firefox

Yeah, even Firefox admits that 75% of the people that download Firefox don't stick with it. On the glass full side, however, that's 100 million that do.

Exactly. I have Firefox installed on all of my machines at home, however I do not use it really. It is there as an alternative in case Opera or IE are not working for some reason. Or that occasional time when I look at possibly switching over to it after a major release.

LOL I'm in the same camp as you. I used FF until IE7 came out which offered pretty much everything I needed. I'm sure someone needs an extension that monitors some guy in Zimbabwe's apartment and lets you turn the blender on but not me BTW, the subtitle to this topic is pretty offensive
