FireFox, the most popular browser today has reached over 400 million downloads since it’s first released on November 9, 2004. I think that’s a big accomplishment for Mozilla and a big blow to Microsoft’s Internet Explorer. Well I don’t actually use IE very often because most of the time it’s very slow and buggy even with their newer version IE7. I prefer Firefox over IE because of its ease of use and of course the tab browsing feature. IE7 also has tab browsing feature but it’s a bit slow when loading.

Today Firefox crossed the 400 million downloads mark as tracked by SpreadFirefox.com.

It has been 1001 days since Firefox 1.0 was released back in
November 9, 2004 which results in an average 400K downloads per day,
although in the last months it’s really been more like 500K downloads
per day.

It’s also a nice improvement compared to the 300 million milestone achieved in past February. At that time, the download rate was about 363,636.3636..downloads a day.
