Mozilla are reporting the downloads for Firefox 3 have surpassed their expectations and will go into the Guiness Book of World Records - with 8.3 million downloads. The officials for the famous records publication are looking into the claim and checking the results before the number is officially announced. Of course if only 1 copy of Firefox was downloaded, it would still have beaten the record - which doesn’t exist yet! But hey, it’s great publicity for the open source browser.
