What do Firefox, me and 8,002,529 other people have in common?
I was excited when I read this today:
Thanks to the support of the always amazing Mozilla community, we now hold a Guinness World Record for the most software downloaded in 24 hours. From 18:16 UTC on June 17, 2008 to 18:16 UTC on June 18, 2008, 8,002,530 people downloaded Firefox 3 and are now enjoying a safer, smarter and better Web.
Why was I excited? Because I'm one of the 8,002,530 people who downloaded Firefox 3 which means I'm in the Guinness World Record book for the second time. Alright so my name isn't listed personally but I did get a really cool looking certificate, even if I did have to print it myself on the Internet.
Here's my world record holding pose along with another shot of the certificate:

Firefox is the best browser out there but I recently switched to Opera 9.5 for linux… better performance but I miss the add-ons.
