Is Firefox 4 going to beat IE 9?

2.4 million copies of Internet Explorer 9 were downloaded in the first 24 hours of availability last week.

However over a 1 million Firefox 4 copies were downloaded in under 3 hours so far today, and now it's up to 2.1 million.

So do you think Firefox 4 is going to beat IE9 download record? Lot's of daylight left.

Update:

McMuffin: Good point there. Many angry XP people denied IE 9 are now going to switch to Firefox 4.

    It will.

    Main reason... IE9 DOES NOT work with XP so no XP users downloaded IE9.

    EDIT: IE 9 download record (2.35 million) was just beaten by Firefox 4 with 2.40 million downloads and it's still climbing. We can expect to see around 3.0 million or more before it ends.
