Firefox Did It!



https://downloadcounter.sj.mozilla.com/
They got their five million downloads! And more!

The counter right now is just about to tick over seven million Firefox 3 downloads - still going strong with over 6,100 downloads per minute!

We've still got 2 hours 45 minutes to go - at this rate, they'll just manage to hit eight million. Cool!

 		7,700,000 now.

One of those downloads is mine. I feel so proud.

 		I have a feeling some people are just downloading it over and over again.

 		Maybe some of them did, but according to some sources, Firefox 3 market share went from 1% to 5% in that 24 hours - which is a pretty decent amount, to say the least!

Here's a fun graph

 		Was the record for the most unique downloads, or just the most downloads?

 		Just most downloads, I think. It's all a big publicity stunt, but it was a damn exciting one

 		What have they done with the url bar?!

Why are (some of my bookmarks in the drop down list??

And I find it impossible to find websites in the list - it's crazy.

Oh well. I guess I'll just type the web address each time until I figure it out/get used to it. Too lazy to go back to FF2 ._.

 		The url bar doesn't seem to have much of a purpose, until you realise you can type "Mudchat" and go straight there!
Now, if that's not a good enough reason, I don't know what is!!!

 		Did you guys notice that the back/forward buttons in FF3 for XP are green, where as for Vista they are blue? I found this odd.

And here's an explanation, for the quotes you don't already know.
