Records are meant to be broken, and IT is the living proof. Thresholds are being exceeded at an increasing rate, and Firefox comes to confirm this exponential growth.

As the browser's first anniversary approaches this November, Firefox adoption numbers have exceeded expectations with more than 100 million downloads since its introduction in 2004.

The Mozilla Foundation also congratulates the members of the Spread Firefox community for their success in reigniting the Web by driving the popularity of the browser.

"Our community of more than 100,000 Firefox developers, testers, and marketers is rejuvenating Web browsing, which is why millions of new users make the jump to Firefox every week. Spread Firefox members look forward to the next 100 million downloads as they mobilize for the exciting new release of Firefox 1.5.", Asa Dotzler, liaison for the Spread Firefox community explained.

The next step for Firefox is version 1.5, whose beta is available to the testing community. FireFox 1.5's final version is expected in November or December.
