Mic recently shared a few words of congratulations with our localizers and translators around the globe who helped make the Firefox 3 launch a great success. As a follow-up, I wanted to spell out a few numbers associated with the impact and success of these contributions:
about 73% of downloads since launch have been from users [...]
Polvi previously highlighted some interesting Firefox related search patterns via Google Trends. With the recent launch of Firefox 3, we thought it’d be wise to update that analysis. Internally, we could see that web traffic to www.mozilla.com spiked by a wild factor on Download Day and that traffic coming in through our search engine marketing [...]
Putting yesterday’s story in some perspective…
In the first full month after Firefox 2’s launch, Firefox 2’s worldwide market share had reached 3.62%. It was indeed a wild success. So, what about the launch of Firefox 3?
We’re only about 24 hours in, and Fx3 has already surpassed the point Fx2 reached at the one month mark! [...]
Net Applications has built hourly tracking into their service just to follow Firefox 3 during download day. Click below to see where the worldwide market share of Firefox 3 currently stands. It’s growing by the minute!
Mozilla recently engaged in a press tour supporting the upcoming launch of Firefox 3. Last week, we sensed that the buzz and anticipation surrounding the launch was reaching crazy heights; but from a statistical standpoint, the effects of PR efforts such as this can sometimes be difficult to quantify. However, we recently noticed one unusual [...]
Following up on his initial analysis of Download Day pledge data, Ehsan Akhgari created a dashboard to visually interpret the data in real-time. The example below shows Poland as the tan-orange line and Brazil as the blue-teal line. I’m impressed!
Hats off to community member Ehsan Akhgari for his awesome analysis of our Download Day pledge data (it far exceeds my feeble attempt). Not only is Ehsan’s analysis updated in real-time, but he’s also made the source data available for other community members to work with and build on his ideas. Great job!
John Lilly highlighted a milestone a few months back when we reached 50 million active daily Firefox users. Now, just more than four months later, we’ve surpassed 60 million active daily users. Wow!
What’s perhaps most shocking is that the percentage growth of Firefox usage has continued, all the while our base number has become substantially [...]
Since Download Day was announced (just a few days ago), it’s been fun to watch in real-time the way Firefox community members around the globe have embraced it. We’ve already seen pledges from community members across more than 200 countries (or regions)! In addition, I thought it’d be interesting to see how the early number [...]
After last month’s hiccup, yesterday Net Applications released its latest market share report for May 2008. Firefox showed a nice improvement in the April to May timeframe, going from 17.76% to 18.41% worldwide market share. Net Applications provides their own interpretation here.
The interesting part of the story is that while Firefox 3 continues to show [...]
