8,002,530!

Congratulations! Nicely done!

With this we also see Firefox close the month of June with a market share of 19%. However, as far as Firefox 3.0 is concerned the data shows that growth for version 3.0 mostly came from people upgrading from Firefox 2.0 - Firefox 2.0 market share dropped 1.57%, compared to the 1.59% gained by Firefox 3.0.

Oh, and by the way, the winner of the Mozilla's Firefox 3.0 "Download Day" prediction pool was charley cross with 8,000,001. Congratulations, a copy of Firefox 3.0 is winging its way to you! ;-)
