Massive grassroots community effort behind world record for most software downloads in 24 hours
Mozilla today announced it set a new Guinness World Record for the largest number of software downloads in 24 hours. The record-setting 8,002,530 downloads coincided with the launch of Firefox 3, Mozilla's major update to its popular and acclaimed free, open source Web browser.
Mozilla enthusiasts worldwide drove more than 1.7 million pledges to download Firefox 3 on Download Day, hosted regional download "fests," and added Download Day buttons to their sites, resulting in more than 40 million impressions. The global Mozilla community has been celebrating the historic goal of establishing a Guinness World Record with parties in more than 25 countries, including a 24-hour long download fest celebration called Camp Firefox at Mozilla's Mountain View headquarters.
