Firefox Download Day 2008Mozilla is all set to release the final version of Firefox 3, and with that, it will also try to set up a world record. Sounds good, eh? They are trying to set a world record for most number of downloads in 24 hours for its upcoming release of Firefox.

The date of this “Download Day 2008” and the release date for Firefox 3 will be announced soon. If you would like to participate, head over to Spread Firefox and offer your pledge there to download Firefox 3 on the first day of its release. Once your email gets rolled in, you will be one the first ones to get your hands on the latest Firefox.

And remember, provide a valid email address as the date will be sent on that email address. Since Firefox is everyone’s (almost!) favourite browser, I would urge everyone to help them out to achieve this record as this is their very first attempt in achieving it. You can also use some cool logos and banners to promote this day and help Mozilla achieve this goal.

    Interesting to see that there is already over 500,000 pledges, yet still not date has been set for the day.

    My assumption is that when they reach there target they’ll announce the date on the same day,to acheive that Guiness record without any delay in their given date may be thats why they arent announcing the official date.

    There isn’t even a record to break… I think it is totally lame they are doing all this marketing BEFORE they are even willing to announce a release date. I mean, why can’t they just pick a date, include the date in the marketing material, and then make a push.

    Lame Mozilla–pick a date, then ask me to commit.
