Firefox and Thunderbird download display. :: Show the world how much Firefox and Thunderbird count.

Download

License : GPL

Description :

A very simple PHP script to show how many times Firefox has been downloaded since v1.0 was launched on Nov 9th 2004.

Update : 20th June 2005
Updated the code so if the feed is unavailable it won't fill the error_log with messages.

Update : 3rd August 2005
Updated the code so you can display the Firefox or Thunderbird current download counts.
