Company aims to break world record with new browser
The world's most popular open source web browser, Firefox, is all about change. It changed the way people thought a web browser should work. It changed the ways in which you can customize it to make it your web browser beyond just adding a script plugin here or a toolbar there. And now, Mozilla has its eyes et on changing something else: A Guinness World Record. That's right, the people behind Firefox want to break the world record for the most number of times a single piece of software has been downloaded within 24 hours and they've got a good campaign set up already.
People love Firefox. In fact, some people love it so much that they (myself included) have been running Firefox 3 since the beta stages. Others love it to the extent that they have pledged their support to download Firefox 3 on Download Day. In fact, here are a few countries and the number of people that have pledged to download the fox on D-Day:
- United States: 185,377
- Canada: 31,551
- United Kingdom: 45,417
- Australia: 18,401
- Brazil: 76,597
- Russia: 29,670
