Help Firefox Create World Record

Firefox 3 should be up for release in late June and the people at Mozilla have very cleverly set up a unique buzz around the final release. They intend creating a world record for the most software downloads in 24 hours. You visit the site and ‘pledge’ that you will download FF3 on the release date and they will send you a reminder about your download date.

According to the map there are nearly 600,000 pledges to download FF3 and a healthy 1,769 from Ireland alone! I’ve been using Firefox 3 Release Candidate now for the past couple of weeks and have to say I am well impressed. With the use of plugins and add-ons i can’t see why anyone should use Internet Explorer anymore.
