Nice question Dude Dean... I remember yesterday i wrote about this event on my blog and i put one of the official banners in the post after text... After 1 hour the banner disappeared, I went on the official website (I tried), but the site was down..
I replaced the official banner with a simple link..

"Almost half the downloads came from the United States (2,100,411), followed by Spain, Iran, France and the UK."
Wow, you really seem unable to read the map and check the big downloaders ranking:
Currently:
US 2,145,089 Germany 380,090 Japan 296,294
Spain 213,330 UK 209,226 France 205,991 Iran 179,169
FF is very popular in both Germany and Japan. The ranking has been pretty stable since yesterday.

it's crazy, I checked the UK this morning at 8am (GMT) and there were 130,000 downloads. by 9am it was up to 151,000. 20,000 downloads in an hour just from one region... no wonder those servers fell over crying. well done FF3. pls die IE7.

I think the big surprise is Iran. I would not have guessed that they had 100K computers, much less 100K users able to download FF3.
China is an oppressive regime but they have a lot of people so even a small fraction will give them >100K.

i think your idea is wrong(about 100K). iran has the most internet usage in mideast. every home, office, university in iran has computer and indeed are connected to internet. in our house alone, we have 3 independent PC and laptops. so try to change your mind about iran and Persians. i wanted to ask you do you think iranian people do ride camel or horse in the streets or go to the work with donkey or horse?
iran is a civilized country, man!

Iran's number simply show how west is wrong about it. Anything, better to say; EVERYTHING is reflected upside down about Iran in the west, and well, ordinary people believe it (may be someone like you!). Look at those numbers; You could have never expected a retarded country to reach that. Seems like Bush's policy have not yet affected Mozilla, otherwise they would shown something like 200-500 for Iran to destroy its picture like all other medias do in the west. Good luck and do not shut your eyes to the facts. We are not what u think.

Actually, I was advocating it for most of the day, and from about 1m (when I first got to the site) onwards it seemed to be doing perfectly fine, a bit slow at times, but it always worked.

On what map did you look at?
Actually the USA is followed by Japan, Germany and then the UK and not Spain and Iran. This hasn't changed since the first time I looked at yesterday.

I Guess people in west do not know anything about Iran other than the Cartoons they watch every night on their (US led) TVs. I Cannot believe they are so innocent! How can some media in the west filter everything? WOW! You westerns are so simple and innocent!

Actually people in western countries will do anything and murder any nations for their own interest and life. They bring their own defined democracy to ME by murdering 1 million people in Iraq, and you know, they are happy and call themselves winners of this dirty war! By They never know, they will live only 70-90 years and they gotta go to.... sorry for them...
They ended up with just a hair over 8 million. Firefox rox!!!!!!!!!

That is truly a great record to hold. You may not know this but you can add the beta release channel to your firefox updates and test out Firefox 3.0.1 as well. It has all of the fixes in it that they did not have time to add into the 3.0 release.
