Since I mentioned it back in mid-June, I thought I’d follow up with the news that yes, Mozilla did manage to set the world record for most downloads in a single day – er, 24 hour period. Considering how many people had trouble downloading on that day, I’m a little surprised.
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. From 18:16 UTC on June 17, 2008 to 18:16 UTC on June 18, 2008, 8,002,530 people downloaded Firefox 3 and are now enjoying a safer, smarter and better Web.
Head over to the Mozilla site to get your own Download Day Certificate.
