@kojo87: Why not? Apple certainly counts every single app downloads, whether it's an update, a fresh download, or a re-download, towards its 2 billion, or whatever it is now, number? Not to mention that every fart, flashlight, pic-of-the-day "app" counts towards the total they so proudly advertise.
I apologize for the rant, but I do think that it's really not so much the number itself but rather what it symbolizes, which is "a crapload of Firefox users out there", as it was eloquently put by Mr. Mathews :)
It would be interesting to see (if anyone were to keep track, and I'm sure somebody will) of how Microsoft's new "browser ballot" screen for the EU version of Win7 will affect the browser landscape.

i suppose that makes sense. and i suppose it would be pretty much impossible to determine individual users (unless they only counted unique IP addresses but even then it wouldn't work) either way it is great that this many people use Firefox. it still boggles my mind how many people i know who don't know anything other than Internet Explorer. of those people you would not believe how many people just call it "The Internet" and look all confused when i say IE. then again these are the same people with simulated beer pong, lighter and fart apps on their iPhones. i think i need new friends...
