Internet: Firefox Turns Up The Heat

Mozilla said Thursday that its Firefox browser, the open-source challenger to Microsoft’s Internet Explorer, has crossed the 200-million downloads mark.

The organization also inked a deal Wednesday, along with its partner Google, to bundle its web browser along with RealNetworks’ RealPlayer, tightening the screws further against Microsoft in the increasingly competitive browser market.

RealPlayer is one of the most heavily downloaded software programs in the world, with more than a million downloads a day. When installing RealPlayer, users will now be given the option to install Firefox and the Google Toolbar.
