A little over 2 years after Firefox, its sister project has reached its first fifty million downloads.

The 50,000,000th download was reached at July 12th, 2007 at 15:30:18 UTC.

Back in April 2005, just before Firefox reached the fifty million downloads mark, I launched Firefox Statistics. In September or @31,604,556 I launched Thunderbird Statistics

Congratulations!!!

While we are waiting, I have created a new combined graph, with both the prediction and realtime element. Try and play with the parameters, sn=number of units, su=d/w/m (day, week or month, month default). The parameters are for the X axis.

Then I look at the browser statistics from my website, it looks like people is too busy spreading FF, and forget to keep their own FF up to date, since 95%+ of the trafic on my FF site comes from this site.

• August 2005
  14,410 hits from FF users
  
  • 66.89% - Firefox 1.0.6
  • 2.00% - Firefox 1.0.5
  • 10.42% - Firefox 1.0.4
  • 0.79% - Firefox 1.0.3
  • 0.57% - Firefox 1.0.2
  • 0.95% - Firefox 1.0.1
  • 17.55% - Firefox 1.0
• July 2005
  525,852 hits from FF users
  
  • 19.49% - Firefox 1.0.6
  • 11.17% - Firefox 1.0.5
  • 49.26% - Firefox 1.0.4
  • 3.57% - Firefox 1.0.3
  • 2.60% - Firefox 1.0.2
  • 2.19% - Firefox 1.0.1
  • 10.18% - Firefox 1.0

When I look at the graph below, I get the picture, that it isn't just the users of this site, but a more general pattern. If everybody had upgraded the jump after the release of 1.0.6, should be a little bit bigger, than the one after 1.0.4, instead it is only about the half.

I will encourage everyone who is still running a deprecated version of Firefox to upgrade immediately.

Firefox Statistics

Congratulations, today we have reached 75,000,000 downloads. The download was made 13:17:10 CEST.

Here are some facts to help you with a understanding of this huge number:

• 25% of the US population
• Over 2 times the population of Canada
• 50% of the Russian population
• 16% of the population in the European Union
• 60% of the Japanese population
• 6% of the Chinese population

Thats 25,000,000 more downloads in less than 3 months, after the 50 million downloads milestone in April. The 100 million downloads milestone isn't that far away

Due to the fact that the download count isnt linear. I have began storing my predicts every night, and created some linear regression on top of that.
