New Firefox Sets Download Record

Since its release, Firefox 4 has set an unofficial record for downloads in a day, while Internet Explorer 9 hasn't exactly burned up the wires. As a result, Firefox 4 market share is rocketing, while IE9's is on a gentler growth curve. Sound like bad news for Internet Explorer. But does it really mean anything? On the second day of Firefox 4's launch, it set an unofficial record for downloads --- a whopping 8.75 million according to Mozilla. Since its release last week on March 22, Firefox 4 has quickly leaped to a 3.7% market share by yesterday/Preston Gralla, Computerworld. More here.

Question: Have you downloaded the Firefox 4 yet? Impression?
