Guinness organisation confirms Firefox 3 record attempt

 

[|tera|]

Did they get the record however, or was it just an "attempt" ?

Officail. Just over 8 million downloads and SA had around 69000 thousand.

 

[Syndyre]

Impressive, far above the 5 million they were aiming for.

 

[Surv0]

lol.. just to clarify...

South Africa currently has just over 69,000

but the record for worldwide downloads in the first 24 hours was 8,002,530

I think South Africa did around 10,000 in the first 24 hours, can't remember.

Total Downloads for Firefox 3 to date = 28,971,847

and yes... they got the record. Guinness verified it!

69000? You mean 19000?

Good going Germany.

We stand out on Africa at least.

 

[AirWolf]

They bettered their mark by 60% . Well done.

Strangely India and China didn't make the top ten considering their population size.

Yours is buggy? I haven't had a single problem with mine... and I do spend around 12hours a day testing websites on it. Both with javacript and style sheets.

Haven't had any issues here either - it might actually be a windows issue.

I'm thinking about installing FF on some pcs at work to block the ads that my Smoothwall misses. Some users might have some fun with the themes and other add-ons.

Nice, SA claims most downloads in Africa.
