Hi Mozillians: As you all know, Firefox is our primary point of leverage today as we extend deeper into mobile, develop new features, and grow our user base and brand. To stay relevant, we must continue to deliver a high-performing and elegant browser that people around the world want to use. At the beginning of this year, we committed to a 2012 goal of increasing overall user satisfaction while maintaining our market relevance in a highly competitive space. We are measuring that using the year over year growth in our Active Daily Instances (ADIs). Today, we are excited to share news of a change that could account for millions of additional ADIs this year. Here's a quick summary: We started testing a new content delivery network ("CDN") a few weeks ago to serve Firefox installers requested from download.mozilla.org. CDNs are huge networks of globally distributed servers, each mirroring content from customers. Since large providers can have as many as 60,000 servers around the world, users can be assured they'll get their content as quickly as possible. What our test showed was that our users, particularly in countries outside of North America and Western Europe, were significantly more likely to complete an install when downloading from the CDN. This effect was seen in virtually every country we checked. CDN powered downloads had an average install ratio that was 13.4% higher than our current, community-provided mirror powered downloads. After those very positive test results, we made the decision to move Firefox downloads off of the mirror network and onto the CDN. This change, which would not have been possible without the generosity of our community, supports our evolution, growth, and our goal of continuing to find ways to make Firefox even more awesome. Here is a link to the note we sent to the mirror community members last Thursday night: http://blog.mozilla.org/it/2012/08/03/dear-mozilla-mirrors-thank-you/ If you have any questions, please let me know.
