Help set a world record - today

Download Day - English
Download Firefox today and help set a world record for the most software downloads in a 24 hour period.

For those of you who don't know, Firefox is a free browser and is a popular alternative to Internet Explorer and Safari. I've been using the Firefox 3 betas and release candidates for months now and I must say... DANG this is one speedy browser - you'll notice a difference.

Also, note that when you start typing in the address bar it searches both your history and your bookmarks. And the UI is tailored to the operating system your using which is a nice touch. Oh, and there are more add-ons and extensions than you can imagine (ah, the beauty of open source).

At the very least, you should download it and try it for a while. I think you'll like it.

    UPDATE: Mozilla's servers must be getting slammed with everyone trying to update because they're down. Stay tuned for more info.
