Apple bragged about Safari 4 being downloaded more than 11 million times in three days. Firefox 3.0.11 was downloaded 150 million times in 24 hours.Apple subsequently issued a media release claiming that Safari 4.0 was downloaded more than 11 million times in three days, with more than six million of those downloads being the Windows version.
A matter of days after Safari 4's debut, Firefox 3.0.11 appeared with security and other bug fixes.
