on the eve of ten million

Firefox, released just over a month ago, just the 9.9 million download mark. I expect it to hit 10,000,000 sometime tomorrow. Wow!

Hi asa,
developer information on mozilla.org is sorely lacking anything of a substitute for Opera's documentation site or MSDN. Is anything planned to address this?

I am trying to convince a news site to use livemarks in Opera/Firefox but cannot find anything in the mozilla.org developers section.

Wow, ten million in just over a month!? That's very very very impressive!

gman - I believe efforts are underway to bring Netscape devedge ( http://devedge.netscape.com IIRC ) into the Mozilla.org fold, which would neatly solve that problem :)

It seems the rate has dropped a bit though. (Which isn't strange really.) Hopefully the NYT ad will kick up some numbers!

Awesome! I noticed that the Spanish and Portugese versions of Firefox went out of the door just recently. This should help with south america.

Any information on vendors who pre-install firefox, either on windows boxes or as part of a linux distro?

Any news on the MSI installer, which is essential to get Firefox into big organisations?

adaxi, you can track progress on an MSI installer at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=231062
