Help Mozilla achieve a world record!

With the much anticipated release of Firefox 3, Mozilla also wants to set a Guiness Record of the “most downloaded software in 24 hours”. I think that is put just plain stupidly, but nevertheless, if you’re a Firefox fan, why not? You can visit the Spread Firefox site and offer your pledge to download Firefox 3 on the day of its release.

The actual date will be posted on the site itself soon, so you can schedule it to make sure you make good on your pledge. The site features a cool map which shows pledges according to country, I am proud to say my country, Hungary is the best in its region, central Europe, it is doing especially well regarding population. Yay!

If you have a blog or a website they have some cool banners and other ideas to promote the event, and since Firefox has done so much for the web, I at least urge everyone to help out. This is the first actual attempt at this, so even with 1 download they will create a World Record, but they set out for 5 million, which is no small number. Firefox 2 was downloaded about 1.5 million times on its release date, so I think 5 million is a but pushing it, but definitely possible, go Mozilla!
