It looks like the Firefox 3 download day, which was setup to try and break a download record, has spurred the adoption of the new browser. Less than 24 hours after it was made available, FF3 now lays claim to an impressive share of over 4% of browser usage figures. Mozilla servers have been under pressure to provide all those downloads (which now clock in at over 7 million), with them struggling under the shear weight of requests at times. Download rates peaked at 14,000 copies of FF per minute (which is in the region of 13 gigabits per second). FF3 market share already surpasses that of competing browser Opera, and is quickly catching Safari's 6.25% (May).
