</P><P>
The final record breaking 8,002,530 downloads for Firefox 3.0 took place in June with parties in over 25 countries.
</P><P>
"The enthusiasm and creativity of Firefox fans was key to making this happen" said Marketing head Paul Kim.
</P><P>
Gareth Deaves of Guinness World Records called it "an extremely impressive accomplishment".
</P><P>
The official figure was confirmed after logs from download servers were audited and checked to ensure duplicate and unfinished downloads were not counted.
</P><P>
Mr Kim told the BBC: "The notion of going for a world record, as gooky and nutty as it may have sounded, was a really sticky idea.  
</P><P>
"It was an idea that translated really well across national borders and to all different kinds of people around the world."
