Firefox Hits 100 Million Downloads!!!

[drgrudge]

Firefox, the open-source browser which only went 1.0 in November, has this morning hit 20 million downloads. At the time of writing, the site's download counter reads "20,001,054" - it's currently averaging anything from 210,000 to 270,000 downloads every day.

Asa Dotzler, from the Mozilla Foundation, said: "In seventy six days, more than sixty three thousand of you have joined the effort to deliver Firefox 1.0 to more than twenty million thankful users - you all are simply amazing! You all have demonstrated that open source community can be powerful, committed, and capable of accomplishing once-unimaginable feats."

Figures show that 1.1 million people downloaded v1.0 on the day of its release. Download figures also rose to around 300,000 a day for the two days after an advert for the browser appeared in the New York Times. The download rate has remained fairly steady since the middle of November. v1.1 of Firefox is expected later this year.

HOLY $HIT!!!
ROTFLMAO!!!
HAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA

can YOU even make out what u have posted? here is a remedy: calm down, open ur mind, let ur brain do a lil bit of work and then post....also, please USE a software bfor giving your - ahem - "expert comments" (read foolishly stupid comments).
if u cant see animations, then u probably must have a firewall setting to disable animations.
and about flash, i still cant make out what u mean to say, but i'm guessing that u have one of these three things in mind:

• [1] u want the flash plugin.
  Ans: dload the flash player from this page: http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/...ShockwaveFlash
  here is the direct link: http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get...7installer.exe
  [2] u cannot see flash animations
  Ans: again as i said, it must be a firewall setting which must've disabled flash.
  [3] u wanna save the swf file
  Ans: go to tools>page info>media... here select the swf file and click on save as. viola done!!

anything else oh great one??

Plz speak with reasons.
For once i agree with FF fans!!

Hmm, where ever there is FF flamming, u are there...

We are all passionate about the browsers we use, dont we?
WE are all fanboyist, and u opera fans are Blind Fanboyists..

JUST RENAMED THE THREAD!

between 1.1 version is gonna be delayed, it seems

Firefox lead engineer turned Google developer Ben Goodger announced on his Web log late this week that version 1.1 of Firefox will be delayed.

The next major release of the browser had originally been scheduled for a March debut. However, Goodger said the release date had to be pushed back because of "the realities of the work remaining to be done," including a lot of bug fixes and testing to ensure a stable application.

While no solid date for a 1.1 release has been announced, Goodger did offer details on how to expect the next version of Firefox. An non-public alpha of 1.1 will be released followed by a public preview version, then several release candidates, and the final version of the browser.

Among the major changes and fixes expected in Firefox 1.1 are a fix to the bug that causes the browser not to retain the scroll position when going back and forward through Web pages. The update will also ensure certain Web sites and text display properly within the Mozilla-based browser.

Firefox 1.1 is an intermediate step on the way to version 2 of the open source browser, which is expected late this year.
