Firefox hits 2 billion plugin downloads

Firefox is my favorite web browser. I’d love if the guys at Mozilla would start optimizing it for speed so it will load and run faster like Chrome or Safari. Although, admittedly slower to load than the other two web browsers, I still love Firefox because of the rich plugin apps available on the Firefox browser.

I’ve found Firefox plugins like Screengrab, Colorzilla, Tab Mix Plus, DownThemAll! and Twitter client Echofon very useful to name a few. Mozilla’s Firefox web browser has just reached a milestone — 2 billion plugin downloads to date and counting!

To celebrate the occasion, Mozilla has created a Firefox Collection of the Best of the 2 Billion plugin downloads. You can download Firefox to start using great plugins from the Mozilla web site. It’s available on the Windows, Linux and Mac OS X computer operating systems. Mobile versions available for the Nokia N900 with Android OS and Windows Mobile version under development.
