SpreadFirefox.com今天自豪地宣布，Firefox的下载量已经突破4亿次大关。

SpreadFirefox.com是Firefox浏览器的营销网站，成立于2004年11月9日，99天之后宣布Firefox下载量达到2500万次，半年内超过5000万次，一年过亿次，并在一年前迈过了2亿次。

另外Mozilla还宣称，Firefox在斯洛文尼亚的份额已经逼近50％，从而第一次在某个国家把IE甩在了身后。

Mozilla目前正在抓紧开发代号“Gran Paradiso”的Firefox 3.0，现已进入Alpha测试末期，不过原定于7月底的Beta测试版至今没有现身，Mozilla工程副总裁Mike Schroepfer给出的最新日期是“今年秋天”，而至于最终正式版，看样子得到2008年再说了。

On November 9th, 2004, you all started a movement. Spread Firefox, supported by tens of thousands of contributors, took just 99 days to deliver 25 million downloads of Firefox to a world of people desperate for a better Web -- a Web that didn't overwhelm them with pop-ups, a Web that didn't infect their systems with viruses and spyware, a Web that was fun again, simply put, a Web that worked.

In less than six months, you all doubled that number to 50 million downloads, turned open source into a household word and reasserted the supremacy of choice and simplicity.
