Internet browsers Firefox and Opera have experienced a massive surge in downloads since the security flaw in Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 (IE6) was exposed.
Firefox downloads boosted by new release and Internet Explorer security scare. Mozilla's open source browser experienced a healthy boost in popularity last week on the back of a new release and security concerns about Microsoft's Internet Explorer.
Firefox just reached 500,000,000 downloads. This is an absolutely phenomenal milestone for Firefox. It is sort of hard to imagine what that number means.
On Friday, Mozilla's open-source Firefox browser hit the 400M download mark. And though Firefox may be gaining ground on Microsoft and its Internet Explorer browser, corporate Web surfers are often being forced to use IE because many corporate Web-based systems are designed to function best with--or only with--IE.
Mozilla's popular Firefox web browser is quickly approaching one billion downloads for all versions since it was officially launched. According to the Firefox Download Guesstimator, the total number of downloads should reach one billion between 13:30 and 15:00 GMT today.

Mozilla Firefox 3 overtook Microsoft’s Internet Explorer 6 for the first time in February in the Internet browser wars according to monthly data from StatCounter Global Stats.
The famous browser Mozilla has launched Firefox 3.5 which is best in terms of its features and speed when compared to Internet explorer. The internet explorer is going to launch the Microsoft which will beat the features of Firefox’s 3.5.
You may have noticed the odd bit of celebration around the magic billion downloads milestone for Firefox. Of course, as Mozillans themselves point out, that figure doesn't tell us very much. How do we get the *next* billion downloads – and why do we want them?
