This morning, Firefox passed the 12 million downloads mark. The pace has picked up some since the New York Times ad which debuted just as we crossed the 11 million downloads mark.
This weekend's download numbers were significantly higher than last weekend's numbers and that's a trend that makes me happy :-)

A Merry Christmas present indeed!
Posted by: schmichael on December 20, 2004 07:26 AMThe latest edition of Britain's "Computer Shopper" includes Firefox 1.0 on its cover disc. As this sort of thing becomes more common, downloads may decrease while deployment increases.
Posted by: Phil Randal on December 20, 2004 07:35 AMThe latest edition of Britain's "PC Pro" also has it on their cover disc, along with a 6 out of 6 rating in their review and a recommendation for everyone to switch to it from IE :-D.
Posted by: Neil Jenkins on December 20, 2004 08:23 AMIt would be nice to be able to see the accumalted download numbers in a diagram. Could you please post it somewhere?
Mats, I believe since the download numbers haven't been checked on a regular basis, and the checks haven't been time-stamped, there is no graph and will never be one. See this comment made by Asa:
