FF is tryin to set a world record ..just check this out


Sounds like a good deal, right? All you have to do is get Firefox 3 during Download Day to help set the record for most software downloads in 24 hours - it’s that easy. We're not asking you to swallow a sword or to balance 30 spoons on your face, although that would be kind of awesome.

By the way, the official date for the launch of Firefox 3 will be posted here soon - so check back! Join our community and this effort by pledging today.

@agm: no, no...i use FF myself and am very happy with it, but then we're humans and we derive more satisfaction from the failures of others than from our own successes.

It's like inviting a DDOS attack. I suppose it has the dual merit of setting world record and testing their server capacity.

double publicity....gr8...
