June 17th is Download Day for Firefox 3 & World Record?

[Don Donzal]

With all the add-ons, I thought it was appropriate to add this posting to the Tools Board:

Set a Guinness World Record – Enjoy a Better Web

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.

The official date for the launch of Firefox 3 is June 17, 2008. Join our community and this effort by pledging today.

I’m guessing so. The information I’ve read about the attempt stated that tere currently isn’t (wasn’t) a record. Therefore it should hold the record if only off the back of your 3 downloads 😉

They made the record, and I believe there were a huge amount of downloads. However there was no previous record, so in theory if there were only 3 downloads it would have been a record.

I have downloaded it on my machines, pitty some of my old addons are not compatible.
