Firefox is attempting to set a Guinness world record with the most software downloads in 24 hours, from 10:00 a.m. Pacific Daylight Time 17 June 2008. Firefox 3 boasts 15, 000 improvements from the previous version and will, in my opinion, set the bar for all other internet browsers to come. I’ve always been an avid supporter of Firefox as well as all other Mozilla software, so I’m planning on downloading the new Firefox distribution at least twice during download day, just to show some support. I have also been using the beta version of Firefox 3 for some time now and it works great. The link to the page where downloading of the new browser will take place is : http://www.mozilla-europe.org/en/products/firefox/. The download day official site can be found at : http://www.spreadfirefox.com/en-US/worldrecord/

An unofficial change log can be found at http://www.squarefree.com/burningedge/releases/trunk-for-firefox-3.htm . Here is a link to the Neatorama (my favourite web trivia site) post supporting the download day http://www.neatorama.com/2008/06/16/firefox-3s-guinness-world-record-attempt/.

Get downloading!
