Firefox sets record with 8 million downloads | NEWS.com.au

People complain about it not working, memory leaks.... I run it on a Celeron 1.7Ghz with 248mb of ram for days on end and no crashes or so called memory leaks. I recons it is their operating environment that has the problems.
Looks good. Backwards computability with the plugins I use. Loads pages faster than it did before. What more could you want in a standard browser.
Post 27
... it to be THE standard ;P

W00t. Hopefully this exposure will prompt more IE users (in addition to the 8 million already) to download FireFox and realise what they were missing out on *cough*MetalAttack*cough*.

Well I'm a new convert - it's a pity some of our work systems don't work properly on it or I'd use it full time.
