Mozilla Aims for Guinness World Record

While Firefox 3 is on its way, Spread Firefox team is preparing to set a Guinness World Record for the most number of downloads in 24 hours. The official date for the launch of Firefox 3 has not been disclosed yet, but you can help them set a record by pledging to download Firefox 3 on the "Download Day" (which coincides with the release date of Firefox 3).

So far 340,411 people have pledge to download Firefox 3. The current record for most downloads in 24 hours is non-existent, so they’ll set the record no matter what! Campaigns like these are held to promote a better web browser, rather than anything else. Last time, they celebrated World Firefox Day which followed by Friends of Firefox campaign.

Just to make sure you don’t miss it, they’ll probably shoot you an email reminder on the download day. To participate, you just need to download Firefox 3 on the same day. Please remember that only completed download counts. Like always, you can help them to spread the word by placing their banners on your blog, profile page or even in your email signature. They have a special certificate that can be printed for you to celebrate and show off your participation!

  • I am defiantly pledging! Go Firefox! I can't wait till the new one comes out.
  • Wonderful news. I have already pledged. I wonder where you get these news from?
  • Will do.
  • I really did not like FF3 because of their address bar search feature. I much prefer the old one that shows up the most visited urls starting with the particular letter you type in. I think I won't be downloading it. I would have done if they were to send me some sort of certificate though :D
  • Very cool! I will be waiting for the day to download, I am a huge Firefox fan, so I want them to set the bar real high for the download :)
