Looks like the Firefox download day may have produced a record after all. We’ll know in a week or so once the download logs have been purged and cleaned but the current stats are that over 8 million downloads occurred in the 24 hours allotted, and the count is currently at over 11 million so people are still downloading.

Looks like someone already found a security issue and there are a couple of bugs I’ve noticed and have been informed about. But, as is the mozilla way, we shall have an update for those in a week or so if not sooner :0)

The BBC website has a short article on the day’s success and SpreadFirefox has the current count and distribution map.Technorati Tags: Firefox 3, Download Day, World Record
