Despite getting off to a slow start yesterday, the official release of the Firefox 3 browser was downloaded 8.3 million times (that’s the unofficial tally as of 11:16 AM PT today). Mozilla beat its goal of 5 million downloads by 3 million and set a new world record! All right, there was no previous world record, but it still represents a massive one-day adoption rate.
According to Mozilla Foundation CEO John Lilly, that gives Firefox 3 a four percent market share of browsers worldwide straight out of the gate. Mozilla’s servers sent out 83 terabytes of data during that time, and at the peak there were 17,000 downloads per second (with an average of 4,000 per second). That explains why I had to wait so long to download my copy. The browser was downloaded in 200 different countries, with the top ten being
U.S.
Germany
Japan
Spain
UK
France
Iran
Italy
Canada
Poland
Yes, Firefox 3 is big in Iran and Poland. IE doesn’t stand a chance.
download.com got like 15 million more downloads i think they should add that do you
FireFox Number one in IRAN .

It’s not surprising, most people I knew that are even a little computer literate download Mozilla and why not upgrade when the new version is out? I confess, as frustrating as IE is compared to Firefox, I find Firefox that frustrating compared to Opera. Little things like, when I paste a url into the box I can choose “paste and go” instead of just paste. And I can run any search from the url. But I haven’t DLed the new Firefox yet and I’m hoping it is good enough to push Opera to continue to be even greater.
The Download Day and the Iranian Record
http://www.mill...iranian-record/
Iran Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!
I don’t like the new awesomebar(It has made it a lot harder for me to access previously used URLS), and besides a few visual tweaks and a slight increase in performance, it is the same browser up front. I still prefer it to IE, but this is a vista upgrade
i wasnt sure if i was gonna upgrade. but glad i did! very cool. looks snazzy and is supe fast (on my mac). way to go mozilla!
Thanks from the guys in Iran for contributing on download’s day.
This shows that Persian guys – that I’m one of them – love Firefox too much because of their downloads with this poor bandwidth.
iranian love firefox but mozilla prevent us from downloading addons!!
damn to mozilla
Firefox is the best! thanks to iranian guys for their great downloads.
همه این مشکل رو دارن که نمیشه رفت تو سایت addons.mozilla.org ؟
Acid 2 test image fails on resize of firefox window! is it ok?
http://www.webs...acid2/test.html
The max speed of download in iran is 6 kbps . We download it difficultly and We wait for several hours and we succeeded. Iranians got seventh place.
So mozila should add farsi lang in this browser.
Please make a new version of FF in Persian. Tanks a lot
Iranian LOVE FF.
Yes…
With this record there will be FF Farsi edition soon
thnx MOZILLA
Hi iran & iranian.good luck
my country is 5 in the top list.good, but mozilla do ban iran name from download realtime page.why?
it was quite predictable that people in Iran would welcome new firefox properly .
if you search for “فایرفاکس” on google you’ll notice that there are so many blogs and Iranian websites who are following the progress of new firefox .
in addition to this , if you visit mozilla party web page , you’ll get surprised about amount of parties which’s going to held for new release of firefox in iran .
Hi
Iranian users loves **FireFox**, but FireFox hasn’t Persian Language. What ?
We want a Persian FireFox.
How could we verify the effectiveness of such a possibility?

“stand a chance for what? its still the chosen browser for 80% of web traffic. Firefox fanboys amaze me.”
Wow… really? Tell me, who CHOOSES Internet Explorer? It comes preinstalled with Windows so Mom and Pop just use what’s their. The majority of computer “users” out there, I’d bet are the average non-techy parents out there.
Internet Explorer is NEVER chosen. Ever. It is used only because it is already there and most people don’t realize there is a better alternative. Much like Linux.
Yay Linux!
As Persians (Iranians) are in top 10, I suggest Mozilla to add Persian Language to firefox.
Please Add Persian language to firefox
In veiw of the fact that Firefox has many Persian (Iranian) users , please add Persian language to it.
Please add Persian Language to firefox.
Hi Erick
Fx is most popular browser in Iran but Mozilla Foundation (as other persian guys said) dont support Persian language and blocked Iranian IPs on Add-Ons section of Mozilla website.
why??
So… anybody seen the graph?
(I am just guessing that there’s a graph at the top of this, it sure looks like labeling for a graph…)
We love Firefox
