Just a heads up as we settle in with families and friends for those end-of-the-year visits and parties, don't stop spreading the Fire. Downloads are still going strong with over half a million in the last 48 hours and with your help, they'll keep going strong right through the new year.
So if you're home for the holidays or visiting friends, take a minute to ask them about their internet experience and if they are having problems with spyware, adware, slow browsing, or are just getting tired of half a decade old software, help them install Firefox.
We can hit 13 Million downloads by Christmas and 14 million downloads by the new year. If we keep up this pace (or improve on it,) we'll have over 15 million Firefox 1.0 downloads in the first two months. Now that's just amazing!
Posted by asa at December 21, 2004 05:25 PMSuggestion: Holiday Download made-for-CD-R package to burn as needed at Holiday Party's. And maybe even include a template for a cd label. Include a holiday/snowy theme with a few popular extentions. I know it's pretty late now, but if anyone that sees this would be willing to make a holiday-themed Firefox download pack, that'd be awesome.
...plus, who wants to use only ~0.6% of a CD-R?
If anyone pursue's this, I'd appreciate notification please... jmoore /a|t\ gmail.com

Note the large number of firefox plugs... on a skiing message board.
Posted by: backpack on December 21, 2004 06:42 PMJoey, someone has already created a cd package that includes Firefox and Thunderbird plus many themes and extensions. I haven't heard of a holiday themed Firefox download pack though.

Just broke the 20% (!) barrier there.
Yes, it's web developers and not representing the global market, but they *do* represent who might design the web pages of tomorrow. I'm happy to see that we'll probably see a more "compatible" web in the future if these are signs of what to come.
