Firefox 3 download record is official

Published: July 2nd, 2008

Guinness has confirmed to Mozilla that Firefox 3 effectively set a new world record for most downloaded software in a single day on June 17, its release date (GMT-7, Mozilla HQ time).

The Official Mozilla Blog mentions 8,002,530 people downloading Firefox 3, but I guess it must be a typo since the record is about number of downloads which can’t be easily translated to number of people.

Anyway, the record has been set and Guinness will present the World Record certificate next week in London.
