one million downloads
I just ran the stats on yesterday's Firefox downloads and we've broken 1 million downloads in just 4 days!! Wow.
Talk about blowing through the goal; you all blew up the goal! What an amazing week it's been. Thanks to everyone who has signed up at SpreadFirefox.com and helped to make this first week so awesome.
Head over to sfx to see the celebratory post, Fahrenheit 1 Million: Temperature at which the web explodes, and the challenge to break through 2 million!

Yay!!
Posted by: David Tenser on September 18, 2004 09:15 AMThe funny part is I'm totally not suprised. I knew from Px 0.1 that this was the future of browsers(even with the wonderful orbit theme). Whats amazing is the amount of workthat happened between that 0.1 phoenix browser and the soon to be 1.0 firefox browser.

Enough said. Who knows, we might even break the 2 million mark before the deadline! :-D

Posted by: Paul on September 18, 2004 09:43 AMsweet!
that graphic is kinda.. weird.
How many downloads has Mozilla 1.7 had? I want to know by what sort of margin Firefox is setting new records for MoFo... :-)
And what's the situation with Thunderbird? Is it having the same sort of growth?
Posted by: Doug on September 18, 2004 02:16 PMYeah! Now let's go for 4 million!
GURT, the graphic is sliced to pieces and floated to make the text wraps around it. Nice trick, Asa, but I knew it already. :-)
Posted by: Lim Chee Aun on September 18, 2004 05:06 PMYeah i understand that Lim.
But with all the "stuff" on it.. it looks.. weird.
Especially when it's the only full fx logo on the sfx page.
Great news ! ! !
Let's hope even more of an impact can be made now. This is very encouraging : )
