Today, June 17th, 2008, is Firefox Download Day 2008. The Mozilla Foundation is attempting to break the world record for most software downloads in 24 hours with the release of Firefox version 3. To help break the record, head over to the Spread Firefox site and download Firefox. Download Day officially begins at 10:00 AM pacific daylight time on Tuesday, June 17th.

That’s called ‘low hanging fruit’ or something, isn’t it? I managed to download Firefox 3 onto a linux system on the West Coast about an hour ago.
Don’t give up… give it another shot - eh?
Hint: I used this link - might work for you, too.

Talk about dumb. It’s just a gimmick to get Firefox into everybody’s desktop. Opera, Safari, and even IE are much better browsers.
It’s annoying when Firefox fans incessantly tell people to switch to FF. Advertising machines no doubt.

I don’t think anyone would have ever doubted this was a marketing campaign… and a good one, too!
