Guinness world record for most downloads in a single day could fall to Firefox 3
Starting today, users will be able to download the final version of Firefox 3. Firefox is the second most popular browser online, behind Microsoft Internet Explorer. Firefox 3 has a laundry list of new features including a promise of significantly increased performance. If you want to help try to set a new world record can visit GetFirefox.com. Those of you that could care less about the record you can download from this FTP link.
UPDATE:
The Get Firefox site went down near the 10 a.m. PDT launch time. Mozilla, the for-profit subsidiary of the Mozilla Foundation that oversees Firefox development, said it was having technical difficulties with the site.
Mozilla hopes to set a 24-hour record for most downloads with Firefox 3, but the delay shouldn't affect that much. "The 24-hour period starts when the site goes live," spokeswoman Melissa Shapiro said.
