The Firefox community is the proud holder of a new Guinness World Record. On July 2nd, Mozilla received confirmation from Guinness that we’ve officially achieved the record for the “largest number of software downloads in 24 hours,” with a final total of 8,002,530 downloads. This is another in a long line of wonderful accomplishments for our community. Ever since Firefox was launched in 2004 we’ve relied on Firefox supporters to help spread the word, and we now have over 180 million users in more than 230 countries. It’s an amazing accomplishment, and we’re all extremely grateful. Don’t forget to get your very own personalized Download Day certificate!

Mozilla security metrics project

Mozilla has been working with security researcher and analyst Rich Mogull on developing a metrics model to measure the relative security of Firefox over time. The team is trying to develop a model that goes beyond simple bug counts and more accurately reflects both the effectiveness of secure development efforts and the relative risk to users over time. The goal for the first phase of the project is to build a baseline model that can evolve over time. A preliminary version of the project goals and a spreadsheet of the model have been published by the team. These, along with more information about the project, are available through the Mozilla Security blog.

Weave 0.2 development milestone

Weave is a Mozilla Labs project focused on building online services into the browser. The project’s goals are to enhance the new Firefox user experience and increase your control over how you share your personal information between computers, and with other people. Version 0.2 is a major update to the Weave client and to the servers than control it, and has significant new features. For more information, including details about the changes, or to try it out for yourself, check out the Mozilla Labs’ weblog post.
