Firefox 3 - A Record Breaking Browser

Mozilla, the organization behind the popular FireFox browser, is attempting to secure a Guinness World Record for most software downloads in 24 hours. FireFox has gained market share on chief rival Internet Explorer over recent years and the newest version, FireFox 3, is packed with even more features. FireFox has historically provided a better user experience with such features as built in pop-up blocking, tabbed browsing (long before IE 7), and tighter security.

From a developer's standpoint FireFox is far more compliant with open web standards and far less buggy than Internet Explorer. The end result is web sites look like they were intended on a variety of operating systems, screen resolutions, and devices.

If you haven't used FireFox I encourage you to download and check it out. You won't go back to Internet Explorer. You can read more about the Guinness World Record and pledge to download the browser on Mozilla's Download Day site.

Update 6/18/08: Congratulations to the Mozilla Team on over 8 million downloads in 24 hours.
