Mozilla Corp. said on Wednesday that the open source Firefox web browser has been downloaded over 100 million times, far exceeding expectations since its launch last November. The next big move for Firefox will be the release of Firefox 1.5 this fall. Despite the great news about the milestone Firefox has reached, the spreading of the browser has begun to slow down in it's competition with the dominant browser, Microsoft Internet Explorer.
Firefox lost three quarters of a percentage point in September, which was its second slip in just three months. It's market share fell to 7.55% from 8.27% in August. It's best share was in June, where it had 8.71%. The spread Firefox marketing site is also back up and running now after being closed down two weeks ago due to a hack that could have exposed personal information of registered users.
