150 million! A great number indeed. I should let my local news know about it.  It would probably be the most interesting story printed/posted.

Not quite 150 million (yet)

Actually, it looks like there are closer to 100 million users of Firefox, because there are about 1 billion Internet users and about 10% of them use Firefox.

Still, 150 million downloads is a staggering number. I've searched for software that's been downloaded more times than that, and all I can find are WinZip, Macromedia's Flash player, Apple's QuickTime player, Sun's Java Runtime Environment, and Adobe's Acrobat Reader. Firefox looks like it's one of the top ten downloads of all time, and the most popular open source download ever.

Not really.

There might be a few things wrong with the downloads count, but trying to judge users based off the numbers of market share is going to lead to even more trouble. The fact that the numbers vary so much is a testiment to the inaccuracy of these numbers. Also, this is % of hits, not users. One user could use IE all day, visiting tons of sites, while another users uses firefox and visits only one. The percentage this goes into the great number is then vastly different.

 Don't try to calculate number of users from market share.
