Fans have been coming up with all sorts of ways to celebrate, and publicize Firefox. Check out the celebrations:

And if you'd like to get yourself a copy of Firefox, or Thunderbird (their stand-alone email client), or even Mozilla (the combined suite of browser, email, html editor, and IRC chat client), then head on over to http://www.mozilla.org

That would explain why the spyware makers are beginning to target Mozilla.

I wouldn't get too excited over this, since for every security upgrade you have to download and install a complete new version Firefox, this really doesn't add up to a huge number of users.

Download number does NOT include upgrades.

Says who? They don't have patches for Firefox, you have to install the whole new version, so there's really no way to know for sure.
