The good folks at Guinness have certified the Firefox download record. 8,002,530 unique individuals downloaded Firefox 3 in the 24 hour period after launch on June 17th, 2008.
I have to give a big shout-out to Mary Colvig who organized this supercool community program. Mozilla community marketing really has taken Firefox to levels unimagined just a few years ago.
We said it when Firefox 1.0 launched but it bears repeating: We're setting the world on fire!
Congratulations also to the 8M+ people that all own a piece of this accomplishment. You all are amazing and you inspire me.
