Mozila Firefox set a world record

The launch of Firefox 3 saw a record-making number: 8,002,530 people downloaded the latest browser from Mozilla in the 24 hours between 18:16 UTC on June 17, 2008 to 18:16 UTC on June 18, 2008.



The Mozilla team congratulated its community and pointed at its grassroots marketing campaign as the secret to the successful launch. As the browser launched, the first four hours saw a million downloads, which later snowballed to over 8 million over the next 20 hours.
