World records seem to have become as common as breathing. To add to the hype, it’s like Guinness will hand out a world record to anyone to boost interest. Well Mozilla is now a proud owner of one of those records.

Yesterday, Mozilla set the record for most downloads in a 24 hour period. The latest build of the underground, up-and-coming browser Firefox 3 had over 8 million downloads in the 24 hour span.

I’m not sure I would say congrats is in order. I mean I could theoretically create a world record right now. I hold the record for most times listening to St. Elmo’s fire whilst jumping on a pogo stick.
