Firefox crosses 1 billion downloads today


Firefox has been nipping at Microsoft Internet Explorer's heels since 2004, and today the browser is passing a milestone: One billion copies will have been downloaded. That's in total, across all the versions made.
Firefox has a growing fan base, and recently took an increased share of the browser market around the world. It's now how 31% of Web pages are served to the public, versus 60% via IE. Google's Chrome, soon to be the basis of a whole OS, has less than a 5% share, as does Apple's Safari--echoing the smaller share of the PC market owned by Apple.
