2 edits | half of those downloads are probably from re-installs, upgrading, patching.. and those fake clicks. doubt they're unique. |

Brownsburg, IN | Yeah, if they count every time they put a new update a download. Count about 20 from me.
Now that they are "mainstream" we will see more individuals trying to take advantage of the exploits. |

I haven't seen the lights on at the Mozilla Foundation's main Mountain View office in almost a full week now, and I pass by their door (literally!) twice a day.

True, but how many people have installed it on other people's PC's from a CD or other removeable device? I have installed it on several friends' PC's from a flash drive.

Most of those downloads are just people trying to get the number up!
I'd be surprised if there were a Real half million users!!
Funny, people sit around downloading something all the time, over & over &...

I'll second that. I have yet to encounter a site that causes Firefox to hang or hard crash. |

I just clicked on it using Firefox with no problems. I don't have the latest updates for FF though so I have no idea if that's the reason. I think I found just one site so far that doesn't render properly on Firefox and it's probably because they are using FrontPage extensions or something like that (it's not a commercial site). |

And I think it's obvious to most that the number is artificial!
Pretty funny really, this type of thing has been going on for a long time to make things look better or more used/accepted. This isn't like a revelation or something, old news...

I don't need a number to tell me FF is better than alternative browsers. Sure, 50 million sounds a bit unrealistic, but at the end of the day it's a great browser that can only get better.
