2 Billion Firefox Add-on Downloads!

Thursday, Jul 1, 2010

Today marks a very special occasion in the world of Firefox Add-ons as we cross the 2 Billion download marker. We have a lot of people to thank for helping us reach this milestone: most of all, you!

This morning, we reached a huge milestone: we served our 2 billionth Firefox Add-on download from addons.mozilla.org!

This exciting feat was made possible by the huge community of people like you who use Firefox Add-ons as well as the thousands of developers who make the add-ons you use.

Over the years, we remained dedicated to building features and products that make Firefox the world’s most customizable Web browser for consumers and developers:

When we reached 1 billion Firefox Add-on downloads in November 2008, we thought it would take us less than 3 years to get to the next billion, and with your help, we’ve gotten to 2 billion in half that time! With more than 150 million add-ons in use every day, we know that the next billion add-on downloads will be here before we know it.

To celebrate this occasion, we asked you for your favorite add-ons and created a special collection we’re calling the Best of 2 Billion Firefox Add-ons. Check it out! We’re pretty sure you’ll find some add-ons that become an important part of making your journey through the Web easier, more productive or more fun.

Let us know what you think of the collection and thank you for your part in helping us reach 2 billion Firefox Add-on downloads!

    Bez komentáru ,lebo ničomu o čom píšete nerozumiem. Divné je,že máte k dispozícií nástroj na opravu písaného textu a úvodná stránka obsahuje veľmi závažne chyby pri používaní slovenčiny. Stránka Rock Your Firefox. Prepáčte moju drobnú poznámku, mne sa však zdá , že je veľmi podstatná. Z vášho pohľadu možno ne, ale slovenčina má tiež svoje gramatické zákonitostí.
    Ešte raz sa úctivo ospravedlňujem.
