Yes, this is certainly a great news.
When reading this news, I saw some comments like "20 million downloads doesn't mean 20 million people are using it"
and someone replied "no one told you there's 20 million Firefox users. just see the marketing share for yourself"

Good point. 20 million downloads does not mean only 20 million people are using it. There are many people downloading from mirror sources and some might downloaded more than once.
However, "20 million downloads" is still a good indication for the popularity of Firefox.

As side note, Mozilla Foundations and MozillaZine seem to spend not enough resource and marketing on other products such as Mozilla Application Suite.

還好啦，應該說其他的軟體地位上不如Firefox來得重要（瀏覽器→Internet的入口），也就沒有花那麼多力氣來推的需要。

像Thunderbird也許不錯，但我實在不覺得有什麼理由一定要丟掉OE來改用Thunderbird……說OE因為用IE核心所以HTML表現能力差嘛，那要知道email一般不會用到CSS這種東西，甚至有些人的習慣是根本不用HTML寫信的；要用OE寫出別的郵件軟體不能看，只能用OE來看的信，應該也蠻難的吧？ 至於Nvu就更別提了，又不是每個人都會想要寫網頁…… Mozilla Application Suite的各個組成當中，瀏覽器的部份是最重要也最危急（標準被嚴重忽視）的，所以才會用力推。


要說不合標準的話，台灣還有一堆bbs站的郵件沒有加MIME標記，轉上usenet的文章也沒有編碼或加MIME標記的，這些都比OE造成的問題嚴重多了。

I remember there's a quote from someone's blog:
"Firefox is our big weapon on spreading Gecko UA strings"
seems like Mozilla.org is now listing web standards as the most important thing

我承認我自己就抓了四次(自己的電腦、老媽的電腦、跟店裡兩台有連線的電腦), 不過店裡幾個同部門的同事就這樣跟著用 Firefox, 其中有一個回家也裝, 過幾天看到我的時候還一直說謝謝。

在所有 Mozilla 產品裡, Firefox 的確是最適合任何人也最容易推的(跟其他類似的產品比起來好很多), 其他的就不一定每個人都會用到。我個人就只有用 Firefox 跟 Mozilla, 因為我只有用免費的 web mail, 寫網頁都是用 notepad, 也沒在用行事曆。

對了, 有人知道中文版的下載次數嗎?

Honestly speaking, I only downloaded once, from a mirrored site. It's a good browser, however, Safari is still my main browser.
