Firefox launched on November 9, 2004. It took one year for Firefox to reach 100 million downloads. One further year and it doubled to 200 million. One more year and it’s reached 400 million downloads.

Today, you all have done it once again. With your amazing efforts, Firefox has reached 400 million downloads and demonstrated that not even the world’s most powerful companies can keep people from a better, safer, and faster Web experience. You all, the grass roots and the heart of the Firefox movement, have helped hundreds of millions of people find that better, safer, and faster Web. Source: Mozilla

We Say: I use it, I love it. It’s my browser of choice. And that’s changed since last year, at the 200 million download mark, when I was still using Maxthon. I just hope Mozilla keeps it quick and efficient and avoids bloating it (more than it has) unlike some other browsers we know.
