8,002,530 Downloads and a World Record

Posted by Johan Cyprich on 02 Jul 2008 | Tagged as: Applications

It’s official. Mozilla set a Guinness world record last month with the greatest number of software downloads in one day. The 24 hour period occurred from June 17 (18:16 UTC) to June 18 (18:16 UTC) where 8,002,530 copies of Firefox 3 was downloaded. The goal was to get at least 5 million downloads.

There have been 28 million downloads since Firefox 3 was released and there are currently 180 million users worldwide. Firefox has a 19% market share and is the second most popular browser after Microsoft’s Internet Explorer.

In spite of these downloads and the market share, Internet Explorer still dominates the web and they are the standard which all web sites must work with.
