Firefox Download record

Post by [JiF]Mike »

Mozilla wants to set a world record for most software downloaded in 24 hrs. Here's a direct link to the file. :)

I grabbed it lastnight. Seems a bit faster with a couple of extra bells and whistles. Not much else noticed though.

I've always been an IE man, but I'm giving it a go.
Love the address bar bit where i can just put in a bit of a URL & it gives me the ones I've been to before.

I'm not sure of the specific wording, but from their site "attempt to set a world record for the most software downloads in 24 hours" No one has ever tried it before, so technically they aren't competing with MS. I suppose MS could turn around and say,"Hey! Guinness guys! Check our records for the Windows update site." THough I doubt MS really cares all that much.
