The company celebrates this milestone “unthinkable years ago to an open source product.”
Are good times for Mozilla. Over the weekend, its browser, Firefox will reach one billion downloads, if you add both the previous and the latest versions.
“This achievement was unthinkable years ago for an open source product,” says the company in a statement. To celebrate and thank its members, on Monday, August 3 Mozilla activated microsite www.onebillionplusyou.com.
The open source browser, which has 30% market share, followed by Safari and Opera, has failed to overcome a Microsoft Explorer, which owns 60%, followed by Google Chrome OS.
This situation could change in Europe since the EU authorities to punish the Redmond for “abuse of dominant position.” Thus, at least in the Old Continent, Microsoft will no longer install in browsers other than their computers. This, coupled with the slow pace in adopting new standards of design and web programming, could lose ground to explore.
At the same time, Mozilla is already working on the development of its new version of Firefox, as reported yesterday eWEEK.
