More than 400 million downloads of Mozilla’s Firefox browser have been made since it launched three years ago.

In an announcement on the spreadfirefox.com website, the firm recapped a history that saw 25 million downloads of the open source browser being made within the first 99 days of its availability, rising to 50 million in under six months.

About 200 million downloads of the browser, which is perceived by many as being more secure than its competitors, have taken place in the last 12 months, Mozilla stated.

“Firefox has reached 400 million downloads and demonstrated that not even the world’s most powerful companies can keep people from a better, safer and faster web experience,” the statement said.

Mozilla also offers the Thunderbird email client and is working on a number of other projects, including a calendar application and an open source version of the Eudora email software.
