The folks at Mozilla are trying to set a World Record tomorrow for most software downloads in 24 hours.
Kinda silly, but seeing as how Firefox as been my preferred browser of choice since at least 2005 you know I'll be joining in the fun.

You've really dropped the ball...
Oooooohhhh.. Very Cool. Yeah, I haven't been on my A-Game when it comes to news the past few days. Post-weekend malaise.
Just in case you have not noticed, the FF3 downloads are working now.
