Firefox 3 Download Day!

Download Day

Today’s the day, people: Firefox 3 comes out, and the Mozilla Foundation seeks to enter the Guinness Book of World Records for the most downloads of a software release in one day. Time to strike a blow for all that’s good and free!

We’ve heard much about Firefox 3’s awesome new features, but the increased speed will be enough to get me upgrading. Good thing Mozilla’s bankrolled by Google — their servers will take a good hard pounding today!
