The Spread Firefox Challenge

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

For something as taken-for-granted as a browser, Firefox has generated more popularity and discussion than any other software of its kind. The challenge against monopoly that it represents, its fully customizable and extendable features, introduction of tabbed browsing, and fast start-up and browsing speeds have set apart this browser from the rest. For me personally, I fell in love with Firefox the first time I used it, and have been relentlessly imploring others to share my experience.

With Firefox 3 just around the corner, the Firefox team is attempting to round-up their faithful users, and set a world record for the most software downloads in 24 hours. The attempt will occur on 'Download Day', which is the Firefox 3 launch day. The date is yet to be announced, but it is confirmed to be in June 2008 itself. The Firefox team is looking at a target of about 5 million (That's right !!), to completely outclass Firefox 2, which had 1.6 million downloads on the day of its launch.

What can you do? Pledge to download Firefox on Download Day at Download Day HQ, and ask others to do the same. Those who download would get their own Guinness World Record certificate. A list of things that you can do for the cause is listed here.

With 14000 improvements over the previous version, Firefox 3 promises much, much more, in terms of speed, security and customization. The beta release has received great reviews, so lets pledge, wait and download...
