Firefox: 100 Million Downloads in ~1 Year

October 18th, 2005 · Comments · Technology Trends

Almost 100 million copies of Firefox have been downloaded since last September.

Mark Pincus heard rumors that Mozilla (the organization that manages Firefox development) was at a ~$30m run rate, thanks largely to deals with Google and Amazon–but he made the comment after Firefox passed the 64m download figure. Perhaps Mozilla is now closer to a $50m run rate? No wonder Mozilla formed a for-profit subsidiary.

Incredible.
