50,000,000+ Downloads of Firefox

by skontos . Updated 21 years, 2 months ago

A better, more meaningful statistic would be the number of people who have actually installed the program. Even better, what percentage of users on The Net, right now, are using Mozilla Firefox?

My experience so far is that downloads work annoyingly differently in Firefox. Specifically, they will not open in a new window. This works fine in Internet Explorer: A Word doc or PDF file open with Word or Acrobat respectively in a new window.

The other thing I see that is different is how referenced cascading style sheets (CSS) are interpreted.

Firefox may handle CSS better than IE, but it’s still different and this is going to drive web developers nutty.
