Mozilla set out to have the world download 5 million copies of its Firefox 3 browser in 24 hours when it launched on Tuesday, in order to create a new Guinness World Record.
While the Guinness experts are still counting - Mozilla is claiming 8.3 million in 24 hours - that record is probably theirs but downloads are still zooming, now topping 11.5 million.
After a slow start on Tuesday, UK surfers bounced back against their European rivals with downloads now standing at more than 420,000, against France's 385,000, Spain's 392,000 and Italy's 325,000. The Germans are running away with the European Firefox Fan Trophy though with more than 960,000 downloads.
Overall, the US is the biggest downloader, with 3.4 million.
There have been some reports of crashing with Firefox 3.0, and issues with rollbacks, but we want to know how you're getting on. Is Firefox 3.0 the dog's bollocks or just bollocks?
