Last week, the German Federal Office for Information Security made a statement warning users of the security vulnerabilities of Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser and recommended that users use an alternative browser, such as Firefox, Opera or Chrome.
Today, Mozilla has said that Firefox downloads have exploded since the warning, with 300,000 downloads taking place from Friday until Monday. Opera said that downloads doubled week-on-week.
For the week before the warning, Mozilla says average downloads of the browser was about 70,000 daily.
