This means you can expect new data at around 8pm PST or shortly after.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Download numbers will drop dramatically<\/strong>.

That means that in your current stats numbers updates are not counted as downloads, or another way, &#8220;download counts&#8221; are the counts of someone actually clicking the &#8220;Install Now&#8221; button on <a href=\"https:\/\/addons.mozilla.org\/\">addons.mozilla.org<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Since we&#8217;re pulling these statistics from a team dedicated to crunching numbers we&#8217;re getting richer and more reliable data now. This frees up our time to fix existing stats bugs and also to add additional data views (like what locale your users are using). Good things are coming; keep an eye on your stats!<\/p>\n<p>[1] The technical reason is that Firefox does 2 or 3 GET requests to a server when it installs an add-on. The filter we had to remove duplicate requests was broken.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An update on the ongoing stats issues from Wil Clouser: This is the second update about add-ons&#8217; statistics.
