Firefox 3 downloads clear 8 million mark

Mozilla claims that at its peak, Firefox 3 was being downloaded 14,000 per minute and in the first 24 hours, the organisation had served more than eight million copies of its new browser.
Approximately 14 hours after its release, Firefox 3 passed the five million download mark. President of Mozilla Europe, Tristan Nitot, told ZDNet.com.au sister site ZDNet.co.uk that he felt as though he was in "a dream".
