Default Download day 2008 - Firefox 3

http://www.spreadfirefox.com/sites/all/themes/spreadfirefox_RCS/images/download-day/dday_header.jpg


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.


By the way, the official date for the launch of Firefox 3 will be posted here soon - so check back! Join our community and this effort by pledging today.

http://www.spreadfirefox.com/en-US/worldrecord/

Dunno what the current record is, but considering Firefox 2's download success, it's going down! images/smilies/cool.gif

I'm in, but I didn't like the beta, it didn't seem to want to let me make a few certain changes, but maybe they will be cleared up in the final version.
