As soon as the latest Firefox 2.0 have been released more than 2 million downloads in 24 hours, What a performance ! Mike Beltzner from the mozilla corporation pointed on his blog :
Apparently, people loves them some Firefox. Within 24 hours of the official launch on Tuesday, there were over 2 million people using Firefox 2, and we were seeing a peak rate of more than 30 downloads per second from our website.
And to compare with old releases performance, Asa Dotzler have some interesting numbers, and I totally agree for a Firefox 10 🙂 but certainly in the right time.
- Firefox 1.0: 1 million downloads in the first 24 hours.
- Firefox 1.5: 1.5 million downloads in the first 24 hours
- Firefox 2: 2 million (actually slightly more) people using Firefox 2 in the first 24 hours.
