Mozilla has announced that it has set a Guinness World Record for the most number of software downloads in 24 hours.

I had written about the release day and followed the little download fiasco around the time Firefox 3 was made available around the world.

Firefox 3 was downloaded by 8,002,530 people and that is the most a software has been downloaded in 24 hours with around 1.7 million people pledging in advance to download the software. And today, so far there as been around a whopping 29 million Firefox 3 downloads!

While you are at it, you could download a fun certificate to show off your participation in the Guinness Record.

Congratulations Mozilla!
