not quite the shot heard round the world, but definantly aproaching it :P

HUZAH!

Depending on how you define 'in'.

Well, it's roughly a month - the mark was probably passed at some point in middle of the day, so that'd be 31.5 days. November's only got 30 days, but some months are 31.

30, 31, or 31.5...the point is made.

Because the Firefox is number one !

Congratulations to the whole Mozilla team on 10,000,000 :-) Over 10 million people with a better internet; you should really be proud with what you've done. The long term impact on the web and the world altogether will be huge :-)

I agree with cow

On the "one month" issue, take all these numbers with a grain of salt. They're all estimates and we may have hit 10,000,000 downloads three or four days ago or it may not happen for another three or four days. My estimates are just that, estimates. In "roughly" one month, we're estimating that we had "approximately" one million downloads :D

If it helps confirm the true 10,000,000 in 30 days, there were 35,000 downloads of Portable Firefox 1.0 in the first month. It may be portable... but it's still Firefox.

Of course, there were lots of extra downloads from other non-listed 3rd-party servers and over P2P (Gnutella, Gnutella2, BitTorrent, etc) systems.

:-)

Isn't it supposed to be "ten" million downloads? ;-)

I can't believe people are quibbling!

10 million downloads AT ALL is a major achievement, the fact it took under 5 weeks is awesome. Here's to the next 10 million!

I'm not sure why I post this here (I've never been here before), but what do downloads tell us? For example, I've downloaded Firefox 1.0 three times (in the official statistics). One time the English version for my laptop, one time the English version for my old computer and one time the Dutch version just to see how it was translated. I actually downloaded it a fourth time to get Portable Firefox for my memory stick which is of course uncounted in the 10 million.

However, I don't even use one of them (except the memory stick one) since I browse with Opera. The same probably applies to a lot of people actually using Mozilla Seamonkey or Internet Explorer (although I could not imagine...) and just want to see what the hype is about.

Or in other words: is there an educated guess about the number of downloads which is actually been used? Is it even possible to guess?

Enough negative things said. :P Just keep the good thing going, it's nice to see what open source can produce.
