| Firefox exceeds 100 million downloads in one year |
Oct. 19, 2005
 The Mozilla Foundation extended 100 million "thank you's" Wednesday to Firefox community members for "reigniting innovation on the Web," the group said. As the browser's first anniversary approaches this November, Firefox adoption numbers have exceeded expectations with more than 100 million downloads since Firefox's introduction, Mozilla said.
Firefox's download success is a direct result of the collaborative efforts of thousands of contributors worldwide, a Mozilla spokeswoman said. "Their work developing and fine-tuning the Firefox browser ensures the best Web experience available," she added.
Asa Dotzler, liaison for the Spread Firefox community said: "Our community of more than 100,000 Firefox developers, testers, and grassroots marketers, is rejuvenating Web browsing, which is why millions of new users make the jump to Firefox every week.
"Spread Firefox members look forward to the next 100 million downloads as they mobilize for the release of Firefox 1.5."
The most recent stable version of Firefox is v1.0.7, which was released last month and includes several security patches.
The final 1.5 version will be released in November or December, Mozilla product manager Chris Beard told DesktopLinux.com.
Firefox is available for free public download here.
