Firefox 3 World Record Attempt

Well Done!

Despite the initial load causing the Mozilla servers to fail x.x there was still over 8 million downloads of Firefox 3 in the 24hours after it was released. As one would expect most were from the USA where there was over 2 million downloads alone. The only regions not to download were: French Guiana, Guinea-bissau, North Korea, South Georgia And The South Sandwich Islands, Svalbard And Jan Mayen, Timor-leste & Western Sahara 😦

It will be a few days before we know the exact number that were within the 24 hours as it has to be reviewed by Guinness to check it is valid.
