8 million downloads

With a few minutes left on the clock for Firefox Download Day, the counter just ticked past 8 million downloads of Firefox 3.

This just blows my mind. My prediction yesterday before the launch was 5-6 million. I was really really hoping to see it go to 6 but was going to be thrilled if we broke 5. Even after getting off to a rocky start with server issues, we still managed to blow past my wildest expectations.

We "got an 8" ;-)
