Mozilla has announced that it has set a new Guinness World Record for the largest number of software downloads in 24 hours. The record-setting 8,002,530 downloads coincided with the launch of Firefox 3, Mozilla's major update to its open source Web browser.
Mozilla enthusiasts worldwide drove more than 1.7 million pledges to download Firefox 3 on Download Day, hosted regional download "fests," and added Download Day buttons to their sites, resulting in more than 40 million impressions. The global Mozilla community has been celebrating the goal of establishing a Guinness World Record with parties in more than 25 countries, including a 24-hour long download fest celebration called Camp Firefox at Mozilla's Mountain View headquarters.
"The enthusiasm and creativity of Firefox fans was instrumental in achieving this record," said Paul Kim, VP of Marketing at Mozilla. "Our community members came together and not only spread the word, but also took the initiative to help mobilize millions of people to demonstrate their belief that Firefox gives people the best possible online experience."
Check out the complete details here, while details of Download Day parties can be found here and you can download Firefox 3 from here.
