Firefox Breaks 5 Million Downloads!
Filed in: Mozilla — October 19th, 2004
Firefox just crossed the 5 Million downloads mark!! Wow! This last week we averaged over 125,000 per day and it’s still going strong.
Keep talking about Firefox. Keep pushing it on relatives, co-workers, and class mates. They’ll appreciate not being infested with adware, spyware, and other Internet nasties that are making the IE-viewed Web such a painful experience. Keep it up!You all are taking back the Web! –Asa

Are you reading this using Internet Explorer? What about gives Firefox a try?

I can’t seem to get myself to change to Firefox though. I’m too used to MyIE2 @ Maxthon, maybe because it has ‘mouse gestures’.

well, simply install Firefox mouse gesture extension and you got the same thing. Firefox render pages faster than IE.

I like this open source naming way, just like animal gallery, so cool!:cool:

vivlin: for security concern, it is good reason to use Firefox. Thumb up for your company!

i started using firefox 10 days ago. had been using maxthon but lately found that maxthon hangs so switch to firefox. but am using firefox on trial first… see if i like it.

Lucia, you’ll need that specific FireFox extension to open new tabs at a click.

Lucia: install SingleWindow to open links in new tab.
You may also want to install Super DragAndGo to open link or search by dragging keywords/url.

Firefox is growing fast: Why are we predicting small numbers?
According to the Mozilla Foundation only 10% of web surfers are going to be using a mozilla based browser by the end of 2005. ONLY 10 percent! Heh, Mike Davidson even seems to think that’s a bit out of proportion. I mean, even in the first two days of…
