Am curious what format the browser measures file download speeds, bits or bytes per second?

I have searched everywhere and cannot find a clear answer. I am aware of the capitalization of the letters usually defines the terms it's measured in, however this appears to be non-standard across the internet, depending who you ask.

eg, kB = kilobytes, kb = kilobits.

firefox lists the downloads in capitials : KB or MB

I would assume it's measuring in BYTES not BITS.

If anyone can clarify this, it would be much appreciated.

Thankyou :)
