Firefox 3: A world record?
Whether you use the Firefox browser (if you don’t you should) or not you can’t deny that the amount of people switching away from miserable IE to the free Mozilla browser is sky-rocketing. Firefox is running a campaign to set a Guinness book world record for most downloads of one program in one day. That day is today June 17, 2008 and the numbers are expected to be staggering.
If you would like to be a part of the download number or just want to upgrade from v2 to v3 click here.
Here is what Firefox is saying about the new version:
What’s New in Firefox 3
Firefox 3 is based on the Gecko 1.9 Web rendering platform, which has been under development for the past 34 months. Building on the previous release, Gecko 1.9 has more than 15,000 updates including some major re-architecting to provide improved performance, stability, rendering correctness, and code simplification and sustainability. Firefox 3 has been built on top of this new platform resulting in a more secure, easier to use, more personal product with a lot more under the hood to offer website and Firefox add-on developers.
