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.

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 :p

BTW, the subtitle to this topic is pretty offensive :crazy:

I want to know how many of those 400 million is repeated downloads(same person downloading more that once) and how many actually have kept using FX

This poll, like most, is flawed as hell. I have downloaded FX at least 5 times this month and as we all know, the vast majority of people that download it dont keep it very long. You can look at those numbers all day long and pat each other on the back, but in the end you are just lying to yourselves. I like FX a lot, but ignoring obvious facts about the real numbers doesnt help FX at all...it actually hurts it A LOT.

and with the many that don't keep using it, there are plenty that do, like myself ;)

Not enough tho, in fact hardly any do...the exact opposite of plenty. Listen, I use it also, but 75% of people that download it dont keep it. Thats the problem and for these guys to be all excited about these numbers is not helping either.
