Thatâs a pretty big deal, but not quite as eye-opening a number as the raw statistics from Mozillaâs official add-ons page.According to the company, more than two billion add-ons have been downloaded since Firefoxâs started tracking statistics back in August of 2007. There are currently 125 million add-ons in use as of this articleâs writing, with more than 890,000 registered users attached to Mozillaâs official add-ons directory.
