Without the help of 8 million people, it wouldn't have been the same. Changed from "downloads" to "community" there to illustrate that better.

In addition to all the very worthy people you mentioned, there was also a tremendous effort from the Mozilla community to spread the word and generally make the whole thing even better than we'd hoped and imagined. Watching people take the idea and run with it by creating their own related web apps, hosting parties, getting the message out online and off was incredibly inspiring...awesome stuff all around.
