Firefox 3 Dowload Count hits 8Million Plus

The Download day set by Mozilla worked well with download count hitting more than 8million users worldwide.The exact number is being scrutinized and to be believed would be more than 10Million.

The nation with the most downloads was the United States, with 3,288,217 downloads, UK came in second at 393,211 downloads, followed by China with 228,370 downloads.While India alone had 139,097 downloads(I'm being a part of it).

At their busiest the servers were handling more than 9,000 downloads per minute. Within five hours the number of downloads for Version 3.0 exceeded the 1.6 million set by Firefox 2.0 in October 2006.

However DV Labs/Tipping Point reported a flaw that potentially lets an attacker take over a PC if a user clicks on a booby-trapped link.
