3

4

^ Yeah just got this a while back. They clocked 800,000 odd downloads which is pretty damn awesome!

I’m sure IE8 can go nowhere near this! :stuck_out_tongue:

5

^^Absolutely IE8 just cannot match up with Opera and FF 3 :smiley:

6

OMG big numbers there, yes IE8 comes no near :unamused_face:

7

its 8 mil not 8 lakh :stuck_out_tongue:

8

Ah, yes I meant 8,000,000 :stuck_out_tongue:

9

But anyone can get this certificate…theres no checking done on the site.

10

Yes me too got email … 3 cheers for Firefox 3. \m/

11

And the good news is all extensions are getting upgraded … I wanted to use firebug with the ff3 beta which I couldnt … now most of the addons are upgraded for version 3 !!

Way to go FF

12

..and they are not even going to try, why do you think :slight_smile:

13

I’m still using FF 2.0.0.15. Didn’t like the new stuff on 3. :stuck_out_tongue:

14

there was no Guinness World Record for most number of downloads in a day before this. So no matter how much we downloaded we would have ‘done it’ anyway. ever wonder why firefox wasnt quoting any numbers on their site before download day? although, i must say, its going to be tough for companies to break this one in the future.

15

Oh, i wouldnt count on that, just “force” a download… free will is different :slight_smile:

16

lol, automatic updates?

17

Hey, I am still using 2.0.0.12, I was feeling slow browsing on FF3… Let me try it again :stuck_out_tongue:
