images/news/firefox.jpgOur testing of the latest release candidate reinforces the belief held by many that Firefox 3 represents a major breakthrough in performance, usability, and resource efficiency. But that isn't enough for its intrepid developers, who also plan to set a new record for the most software downloaded in 24 hours.

Mozilla plans to host a worldwide Download Day following the upcoming official release of Firefox 3. The number of total unique downloads will be tabulated and submitted to the Guinness World Records organization for evaluation and potential inclusion in the Guinness World Records. There is no existing record for most software downloaded in 24 hours, so Mozilla has a good chance of being the first to appear in Guinness.

Mozilla is encouraging users and enthusiasts to participate by downloading Firefox 3 on the day of its release. Those who want to preemptively show their support and get a reminder when the release comes can sign up and pledge to download at the Spread Firefox web site. Firefox enthusiasts are also planning Download Day parties in many regions. The actual release date is not known yet but will likely be announced soon.
