Firefox 3 Aims To Break Software Download Record

Mozilla is aiming to make Firefox 3 a record breaker. It wants the next release of its browser to be the most downloaded piece of software in a single 24-hour period.

Download Day will begin the minute Firefox 3 is generally available and continue for 24 hours. The Download Day website is asking for people to pledge to download the browser and wants people to place Download Day buttons on their websites.

Mozilla are predicting that 1.6m people will download the browser on its launch day sometime in June. [via]
