That’s right, with over 8 million downloads within 24 hours, a new Guinness World Record was set with the title of “Most software downloaded in 24 hours.” If you downloaded Firefox 3 on the download day, you can brag for being part of a world record. Congratulations for the Mozilla team for the victory!

Thanks to the support of the always amazing Mozilla community, we now hold a Guinness World Record for the most software downloaded in 24 hours.

After releasing Firefox 3, nearly 30 million people have downloaded it, compared to the mere few million who promised to download it on the download day. I too, am a happy Firefox 3 user at the moment. You can also read about the ins and outs of the new and better Firefox at SitePoint.
