I may have to give, at least, a pound of rice. That's a worthwhile endeavor.
But what does 1/2 billion mean? Since Firefox, first, came out? How many individuals use it?
I have two difference versions of Firefox on my computer, and may be three. So, we have three users? And, how many, still, have Firefox.
Just an additional observation. If I uninstall any of my Firefox, and 2.0.0.12 is still my default browser, and select to comment on why I uninstalled it, Internet Explorer will open.
I, even, commented on this. I could not believe that they would hard code such a thing.

Well it is an exception browser, and it's in a sense leading a revolution.

Fulvio makes a valid point.
0.5 billion downloads is fantastic. But out of this 0.5 billion, how many actually use it?
It would be great to see actual usage statistics somewhere.

"It would be great to see actual usage statistics somewhere."
This BBC News article says: "Firefox is currently the second most popular browser, although its 12% share is dwarfed by that of Microsoft's Internet Explorer." (5th paragraph from the bottom)
I've downloaded Firefox at least 20 times, for various versions/releases. Fulvio certainly can beat that.

I entirely agree. I've probably downloaded Firefox a dozen or more times myself so that number while interesting is misleading.
