And….50. Stop reading this and go check out the stories from our users. In one day we heard from both an 11 year-old who tattooed Firefox to his forehead (temporarily—”my mom wouldn’t let me tattoo my head”) and a grandfather celebrating his 82nd birthday with Firefox cookies. A girl who’s knitting her own Firefox hat using yarn she hand-dyed in the microwave with kool-aid. Two guys who advertised Firefox in the dust that coats their Jeep.
Naturally, the same press that covers us when we rearrange the pixels in Firefox’s backfur seems unmoved by all of this. C’mon guys, this is the real story.
Oh, and featured above is the newly minted commemorative coin we’re giving away to those people whose stories about spreading Firefox just make us smile. We made just 50, and we have only 38 left. What’s your story?
