Help Firefox Set a World Record

A few years ago, most of the world had written off the browser competition. Netscape had lost, Microsoft’s Internet Explorer had won (despite some underhanded tactics).

Today, there’s a thriving competition between IE, Apple’s Safari and the open-source cousin of Netscape, Mozilla Firefox. As part of the celebration around the release of the third version of Firefox, there’s an effort underway to beat establish the world record for the number of downloads in a single day.

They’re aiming for 5 million and have nearly 400,000 people signed up so far. No word yet on the exact day–the development team is keeping that quiet for now–but it’s rumored to be sometime in the middle of June.

Sign up today–not only to set a record, but to replace as many copies of the inferior, bug-ridden IE browser with the vastly better option of Firefox.
