As you may have read, Mozilla has been going to set a new world record for the largest number of software downloads in 24 hours. The official numbers and confirmation from Guinness World Record are in now: In the first 24 hours, Mozilla FireFox 3 had been downloaded more than 8 million times. All in all, it has now been downloaded about 28 million times since its release.

On a slightly related note, I received a letter (postal mail, yes) a few days ago from the guys at QualityNonsense.com, who asked me to take a look at their domain lookup extension for FireFox. I haven’t tried it myself, yet, but if you’d like to use it you can find the add-in on http://tools.qualitynonsense.com/domainlookup/.
