I just heard from Asa that we have now exceeded 20 million downloads in 1 week which is wonderfully incredible! Without your efforts we could not have achieved such overwhelming success.
It is an honour to work with all of you localizers, translators, testers and others who enable us to create so many great localizations for Firefox. I congratulate you all on the extensive use of Firefox in all of your languages and locales!
Thank you also for participating and encouraging your users to help us go for a world record on Download Day for Firefox 3; we received over 8.000.000 downloads in 24 hours!
From what I hear in the channels many of you have or are about to have local celebration parties for Firefox 3. Please tell us about them either at www.spreadfirefox.com or leave me a comment with what you did and how it went :) I hope you ENJOY with your teams and users. You deserve wonderful celebrations :)!
Thank you and ...keep it open, keep it safe, use Firefox!
Yours sincerely,
Mic

Do you think we could get some numbers on how often each localisation was downloaded? I’d be interested in seeing the number of users for the Dutch localisation.
