Default make history with Firefox

Today you'll make history with Firefox

Are you ready to make history? Are you ready to set a World Record? Today is Download Day. To become part of the official Guinness World Record you must download Firefox 3 by 17:00 UTC on June 18, 2008.

This is the beta Release Candidate 3 version (or else they have not made the final version available online yet).







Thanks HL and Corsair!

hmm, I must be having some caching issues or something. A couple other people I've been talking to were having problems getting the page to load but it seems to be working now.

It works now, but in case it doesn't:
Index of /mozilla/firefox/releases/3.0/win32/

Choose your locale

No problem. Be prepared to dump some of your addons if you got a lot.

I think you need to get it from their front page in order to count towards the record though.... dunno if the mirror counts...

edit: yep they are busy... getting this now on a few pages:

The connection was reset

The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.
