Even if you’re not currently a Firefox user, you’ll want to give it a try.” CNET was slightly more measured <a href="http://download.cnet.com/8301-2007_4-10276351-12.html" target="_blank">commenting</a>, “Firefox 3.5 is a much-needed improvement to the world’s most popular alternative browser… While some of the improvements, such as the HTML5 and other developer enhancements will continue to make the [FONT=Tahoma,Arial,Verdana,sans-serif]browser[/FONT] their first choice, many of the other changes merely keep it in-line with the competition.” At the end of the day, though, Firefox 3.5’s hot new features like HTML5 support and a faster JavaScript engine won over users.  Downloads were blazing at 100 per second for much of the day yesterday.  Mozilla’s servers performed admirably under the load. The new browser hit 1 million downloads within a couple hours and 2 million downloads in 7 and 1/2 hours.  By this morning it had 4.3 million downloads.  You can view the progress yourself on the download tracker <a href="http://downloadstats.mozilla.com/" target="_blank">found here</a>. The U.S. leads the world with 1.1 million downloads, with Germany in second with 496,000 downloads. While the new Firefox is certainly very popular, it failed to surpass its own <a href="http://www.dailytech.com/Firefox+Grabs+Official+World+Record+for+Most+Downloads+in+a+Day/article12271.htm" target="_blank">Guinness World record</a> set by Firefox 3, which recorded 8 million downloads worldwide in 24 hours.  Firefox also faces reinvigorated competition — Apple claims that 11 million copies of its new Safari were downloaded in 3 days, and Opera is gearing up for a big 10.0 release.</blockquote>
