Mozilla Seeks World Record Firefox Downloads

Firefox 3 should arrive in June

The browser maker wants to set a Guinness World Record when the next version of Firefox becomes available for users.

It doesn't seem like Firefox 2 arrived from Mozilla all that long ago. Now that we've got to know it a little bit, the time for change will be here soon. That could include a record-setting level of download activity, tool.

Mozilla certainly hopes it does. To promote Firefox 3, and perhaps earn a spot alongside some high achievers, they are seeking participants in their Firefox 3 Download Day.

On a date to be determined, Mozilla will try to pull in a world record number of downloaders for the newest browser, in a 24-hour period. The Download Day website shows how many people have pledged to do a download per country.

Speedier, safer performance along with new features will be part of the Firefox 3 browser. Barring any late changes, the Download Day event should happen in June, with record verification by Guinness requiring about a week of time, Mozilla said.

It works for me...

I've been using Firefox 3 since february. It works great for me, but I have had some problems with extensions being incorrectly labeled as being compatible. This shouldn't be an issue now that Firefox is out of Beta.

The interface is a little different. For the first couple of weeks I hated the "Awesome bar", but now that I'm used to it, I find it slightly preferable to the older one.

Firefox 2

Firefox 2 was so horrible that I deleted it and went back to Netscape. If Firefox 3 is as terrible as Firefox 2; who in their mind would want to download it?

Firefox 3 bugs

I'm beta-testing the new Firefox 3 and it has bugs galore.

It freezes every 30 minutes and the only way to re-access the program is to completely restart the system. Major bummer! I also has some font issues that are merely aesthetic, but still ...

Anyone else experience this???

The new version does offer a really cool click-and-drag feature that copies the image you selected. This helps me out a lot as I am constantly dragging watermarked images into my designs before shelling out Getty prices.
