Firefox 3 got 8.3 million downloads in Download Day
June 18th, 2008
As the clock passed 18:16 GMT on June 18, marked the end of the 24 hours period for counting the number of downloads Firefox 3.
8,290,908 is the number of Firefox 3 downloads, give or take a few thousands, with a strong 12 thousand downloads per minute rate at the time the mark was crossed.
In fact, the push was so hard that NetApplications reports it moved the market share needle by about 2% for Firefox 3: from around 1% early in the morning to about 3% by late at night.
The number has yet to be validated by Guinness officials and hopefullly it will be included in the next printed edition of the Guinness World Records.
