Mozilla Firefox 4 Doubles IE9's 24 Hours Download Statistics


Mozilla Firefox is a free,open source and frequently used web browser from the Mozilla Application Suite and managed by Mozilla Corporation. As of February 2011[update], Firefox is the second most widely used browser with approximately 30% of worldwide usage share of web browsers. As we know that Internet Explorer tops the chart with about 44% and third place is Google’s Chrome browser, which has about 17 percent followed by Safari and Opera coming on fourth and fifth places with 5 and 2 percent respectively.


Firefox may be under fire from Microsoft's newly competitive browser, but with more than twice the downloads in its first day, Firefox 4 ascended over its rival by one measurement.

According to the Mozilla’s official download stats page, Firefox has been downloaded more than 5 million times during the first 24 hours since its release. By comparing these stats with that of Internet Explorer 9, we see that downloads of Firefox 4 are almost double than the 2.3 million downloads of IE 9.

Firefox 4 is available in 80 different languages for Windows, Mac and Linux , and will soon be available for the Maemo devices, according to Mozilla.
