Firefox 3 Download Day a huge success

July 3, 2008 · Print This Article

The graphic above says it all — Firefox 3 Download Day was a success, with 8,002,530 downloads in 24 hours. Amazingly, that happened despite all of the initial download glitches that happened on Download Day. The Mozilla team is reporting that 29,116,621 copies of Firefox 3 have been downloaded as of 1:13 PM ET today.

If you signed up for Download Day notifications, you’ll receive that e mail as well and you can get your own cheesy certificate, suitable

for framing (or not).

Since I downloaded Firefox 3, I’ve been enjoying some of the plugins that are now residing at the bottom of my browser (Twitterfox and the Accuweather Forecastfox plugin). Firefox 3 seems faster to me, and I like the way it displays sites that are using certificates by putting a wide, clickable banner in the address bar. What are your opinions about Firefox 3?
