The Guiness Book officials admitted - Mozilla has just set the new Guinness World Record for the most downloaded software ever in 24 hours: 8.002.530 individual downloads for the Firefox 3 web browser.

The “Download Day” idea of the Mozilla’s global marketing team seems to have worked just as expected. Guinness records manager Gareth Deaves has agreed that “Mobilizing over 8 million internet users within 24 hours is an extremely impressive accomplishment”.

The user community that supports Firefox has just proved, maybe as never before, its power and commitment. “The enthusiasm and creativity of Firefox fans was instrumental in achieving this record” agreed Mozilla marketing vice president Paul Kim.
