Congrats to the whole Firefox team for hitting the 500 million downloads mark. While it wasn't a “goal†or anything, hitting the half billion mark is definitely reason to celebrate.
It's an arbitrary but interesting milestone for the open-source Web browser, whose development is overseen by Mozilla but that's also developed and extended by a large number of outside programmers. In September 2007, Firefox crossed the 400 million download mark, indicating an average rate a bit shy of 20 million per month at present.
