I doubt very seriously if SP1 beat that mark.Your average user is going to be 1) unaware of the update 2) incapable of figuring out how to get it 3) use the computer infrequently, thus evening out the download curveYour typical windows power user is 1) too well informed about microsoft update history to install a service pack on release day, as no good can come of itleaving jackasses who know just enough to get themselves in trouble with a computer, microsoft zealots, and people with update OCD.I doubt the latter was enough.

I guess you're correct.Lifted from the Firefox Download Day FAQ. (<a class="user" href="http://www.spreadfirefox.com/en-US/worldrecord/faq)">http://www.spreadfirefox.com/en-US/worldrecord/faq ...</a>"Can we download more than one copy of Firefox per computer?" No, please play nice and only download one copy of Firefox per computer. We ask that you refrain from creating download bots or any other mechanism that would be cheating. In order for our attempt to be legitimate, each download must be human initiated.

Mozilla's next attempt will be setting a memory leaking record.

Adobe PDF is required by your governmental overlords. Bow down.NOW.(and the uploader auto-loading every GD time the computer starts? Is that really necessary??)

That's what the record was set to claim anyway.
