Mozilla: June 17 is D-Day for Firefox 3
Philip M. - Thursday, June 12th, 2008 | 3:10PM (PT)


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

Want to pledge your support for Download Day 2008?  Go to the source and click the "PLEDGE NOW!" button.  As one of Firefox's beta testers, I can guarantee that you won't be disappointed with the new version!

Bill Gates03 - ZOMG, you're betraying your OS! You're supposed to be using IE! Bad Billionaire! BAD!

Lol. I won't be at my dad's, to get it there, but if I think of it, I might get on my old PC and update Firefox on it.

Well, I am sorry.

FireFox gave me another billion to use FF, so I just HAD to do it.

That money just pulls me in!
