Are you part of World Record?

Yesterday I tested out Firefox 3 and as the whole world was anticipating, Firefox 3 has indeed crossed the limit and achieved 6,592,856 downloads so far!!!

Sheer magic, amazing numbers 6,592,856 downloads and still going on ...

In case you have missed out to participate in this record breaking event, I do request you to go ahead and download your copy today and become part of history!!!

Download Day is here!
Set a Guinness World Record
Enjoy a Better Web

Sounds like a good deal, right? All you have to do to help us set the record for the most software downloaded in 24 hours is get Firefox 3 now – it’s that easy. We're not asking you to swallow a sword or to balance 30 spoons on your face, although that would be kind of awesome.

Please download Firefox 3 by 11:16 a.m. PDT (18:16 UTC) on June 18, 2008. That's 11:16 a.m. in Mountain View, 2:16 p.m. in Toronto, 3:16 p.m. in Rio de Janeiro, 8:16 p.m. in Paris, Madrid, Berlin, Rome and Warsaw, 10:16 p.m. in Moscow, and June 19, 2008 at 2:16 a.m. in Beijing and 3:16 a.m. in Tokyo.

Maximum downloads so far have been from US (at this moment the count stands at 2,249,381) but the whole world has participated and I am sure they would enjoy using the new product from Mozilla family.

Firefox 3 Sneak Peek !

The new avtaar of FF, Firefox 3 Release Candidate 3 is available on Mozilla website. A big feature of this version is that it is available in more than 45 languages. Being a release candidate it is not intended for everyone at this stage but as a public preview release intended for developer testing and community feedback.

It took English US Version of 7.14 MB download about one minute to land on my desktop. Installation was fairly easy except that I chose to select a different folder to install instead of overwriting my existing FF2 setup (on my Windows XP Machine, it is also available for Mac and Linux)

Firefox version 3 has new features more geared towards your security to verify site ownership, Malware protection, New SSL Error pages, better cookie restriction etc.

The feature I like the most is improved password management. You can now save password after you login to a site. For those who like to download a lot and have issues with partial downloads, I am sure new feature of resumable download will attract you to test out this new version!!

Read the release notes to learn all about new features, known bugs and troubleshooting Firefox 3 here.

So go ahead and test the new version (at your own risk at this stage) and share what you like or dislike about Firefox 3.
