Download DayI wasn’t sure if I really wanted to write a post about Firefox Download Day, since almost everyone is writing about it.

But recently I’ve been wanting to update the blog, and when you’re out of inspiration… what do you do? You write about what everyone else is talking about.

What these guys are after…

Once the Firefox 3 is released worldwide, we’ll attempt to set a  Guinness World Record for the most downloaded software in 24 hs!  ( I say we, because as of today, a total of 974,286 people have pledged to download the software- myself included).

The date of the Download Day still remains a mystery, but according to the site, it’s going to be in June and pretty soon.

I’ve been using the version 3 beta 5 bundled with Ubuntu Hardy (oh yes, that sounds a bit geeky I know! But so does this post!! :p)  and so far it’s very nice. Too bad some add-ons aren’t supported yet :(

Nevertheless I do look forward to download day, to see what’s new in this version, and also to help set a worldwide record!!

    SpreadFirefox is hosed… no way to download the thing so far.

    Have you got any luckier than I?

    Yeah!
    Clicking here and there (don’t ask me how) I ended up downloading it from Mozilla-europe.
    Want to hear something strange though? In Ubuntu, I got it updated about 5 days ago…. so much for Download Day! :P
