We did it!
We set a Guinness World Record for the most software downloads in 24 hours. With your help we reached 8,002,530 downloads.

You are now part of a World Record and the proud owner of the best version of Firefox yet!

Don't forget to download your very own certificate for helping set a Guinness World Record.
I knew they were going to set it... But it took a long time to confirm.

Congrats, Mozilla.

We can rest assured that Internet Explorer will never be even close to competing for this record.

I'm so glad I always use firefox. I stopped using Internet explorer long ago for a stupid and a good reason. I always got pop-ups and they never stopped even if I put something on the computer to stop it. ^^ Well now I know which to use forever.

FF >>>>>> IE. Except for FFR, which is a minor exception.

Nope...FFR works on my Firefox. I just suppose some computers can't do that.

That just depends on the computer about which is better for FFR with Firefox 3. I believe it's mainly to do with the CPU (I know at least that it can cause lag if the CPU is running full speed), but I'm not sure if that's just it.

I just noticed. Firefox doesn't display my foreign characters correctly. All I see are little squares with numbers inside them.

Well, both Firefox and Internet explorer have their downfalls and good things about them. They both can't be perfect. I bet they're both working on it to make their websites/services better.

Woo go FireFox!
And yeah, I noticed that too, yet it wasn't on the previous versions.
And I think that FF runs FFR better than IE, but that's just me.

Only 8 million?
That isn't that many.

However, I was part of it.
And congrats to Mozilla for getting a category.

Sadly I was a part of it. I wish I never downloaded it in the first place; waste of time. Safari > FF

Ew. Yuck. No. Macs. Ew.
Even still, I've had the unfortunate experience of using a Mac, and Safari is basically the Internet Explorer of Macintosh computers.

I didn't receive an email...
Or it's just lost in the 24,733 unread emails I have from FFR.
Thanks
