With 8,002,530 Firefox enters the Guiness Book of World Records for “largest number of
software downloads in 24 hours.” All is not great though, it does have a security vulnerability which hasn’t been patched yet. So expect version 3.0.0.1 pretty soon. It also failed to raise the Firefox market share for global usage above 20%, so most people were just upgrading from older firefox rather than switching from a different browser.

They’re already working on the next version with alpha releases for Firefox 3.1 due soon and the final being due before the end of the year.
