Firefox Download Counter Rolls Over 400 Million

September 7th, 2007
8 Comments Written by Ryan


400 Million Firefox Downloads Back in February Firefox hit 300 million downloads, and now 7-months later it is rolling the counter over again as they hit 400 million downloads! Of course that is the number of downloads the browser has, and doesn’t actually represent the number of users. Actually Mozilla recently posted information regarding things they’re trying to do to improve their user retention rate, and the graph they provided implies that they have around 40 million daily users…just 10% of the number of downloads.

Now it is time to go onward and upward! April 15th, 2008 is my estimated date that Firefox will hit 1/2 billion downloads. And we should see 1 trillion downloads sometime in the year 8049 if their current growth rate continues.

Congrats to Mozilla and the Firefox team! Keep up the great work, and I’m looking forward to Firefox 3 which is expected later this year.

    “April 15th, 2008 is my estimated date that Firefox will hit 1/2 million downloads.”

    I think you meant to say 1/2 billion. They’ve already made 1/2 million. :)

    Only 2 weeks off from the estimate in your 300 million downloads article back in February.

    I was quite surprised by that myself. I guess their growth is pretty steady.

    Actually, we have about 40 million daily users and about 120 million users who don’t use Firefox every day but do use it regularly. So, a little more than 25% become users and about 10% have become daily users.

    That is a whole lot of downloads. I wonder what the current market share is.
