Firefox 3 Download Day: 6.5 million and counting!

Download DayMy favorite web browser slash social movement, Firefox, released version 3.0 yesterday. To generate some buzz around the new release, the folks at Mozilla are trying to set a Guinness World Record for software downloads in 24 hours. They're initial target was 5 million downloads. As of this writing, they're at 6.5 million downloads and counting - with 6 hours to go!

I also spent a few hours last night at the Mozilla Toronto launch party. Mozilla is full of great people doing great work... it was nice to help celebrate their latest milestone.

If you haven't yet, go now. Get Firefox 3.

Although it has some issues, the memory leak that FF2 had is gone. Also the new default interface is far more attractive. The only big issue for me was the loss of the Real Player Flash video download plugin, but I'm sure they'll make an FF3 version soon.

All in all I'd call it a big success.
