Not sure if this has been posted, I used the search button but seemed to get no results.

So Firefox has a Download Day where they are trying to set a world record and I'm just posting this to see if people are interested in it.

I'm just doing this for something to do and was just giving others the word. I don't really know how many of you know of this.

wtf, no one cares about firefox three.
i bet if there wont be a pop saying 'HEY YOU CAN DOWNLOAD FIREFOX 3.0 RIGHT NOW PRESS START TO BEGIN DOWNLOAD AND CLOSE ALL FIREFOX WINDOWS' then you wont get many downloads that day.
In fact, if there's no popup or anything, i might as well stick around with version 2 til i feel like it. :wink:

I'm just saying that its coming out and their trying to set a world record. Not forcing anyone to do anything.

(not putting out any hostility)

Interesting.

I find it amazing how Holland has 27K. And some countries at least 10 times our size only have 5k or a little more.
Just shows how advanced and uber cool we dutchies really are in technology. :) Uh-huh *nods head*.

The United States is the worlds third most populated nation, before it comes India and China so it seems kinda obvious that they would have the most pledged users for something like this.

It has been fixed, they finally updated their website and redid it.

To my knowledge it is under construction but is still able to run. (the pages keep changing information.)

But it works. http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/

I still have 2, which was no different than the original Firefox as far as I can tell. What's so damn special about 3 other than this downloading pitch?

Oh, hey, i just uninstalled FF3 and reinstalled FF2. Why? FF3 is fugly, the theme i was using wasn't avilable and even then i wasn't using the newest version. then almost all of my addons weren't compattible. Bookmarks? I had to scroll down to get to the ones I use the most (long story why they are there). Oh yeah, I forgot, did not notice a difference.
