Did You Help Set a New World Record?

I did. And I tried to get as many others to download FireFox on Download Day as I could. The end result is: Mozilla Sets New Guinness World Record with 8,002,530 Firefox 3 Downloads in a 24 hour period.

And FireFox 3 rocks it! If you're still using Internet Explorer, go give FF3 a try and see if you don't love it too.

If you did download it on Download Day then don't forget to go and get yourself a personalized FireFox 3 Download Day certificate! Mine has been framed and has a spotlight in the main hall of my art gallery (no, not really).

FireFox 3: Help Set a Record

The latest and greatest browser has been updated and released into the wilds. Today is Firefox 3 Download Day 2008 and the developers are trying to set a 24 hour downloading record.

Right now its been downloaded more than 3 million times worldwide. Do your part and download it today, you know you're going to do it eventually, why not do it today and take part in setting a new Guinness World Record?

My only concern is that my awesome steampunk theme, OldFactory Black, will not work in FF3, yet. I think I can live without it for a little while.

Head on over and get a copy before 11:16 am tomorrow morning pacific time and grab your little part of history in the making!

[Update: More than 8 million downloads in 24 hours! Well done, everyone. Including you 846 intrepid downloaders from Mongolia!]
