Just as soon as I got home from work this afternoon, I immediately used your posted link. Accessing that web address, the download, and the install.... all proceeded super fast. I'm enjoying version 3.0 at this very moment. <br /> And.....after giving it a little thought, I've gotta agree with your assessment of the whole "world record" thing. <br />At the same time, I'm sending big thanks out to all those folks responsible for developing and providing this latest Firefox browser for everyon...

I couldn't see it either after 10:00 AM Pacific Time. The whole idea is pretty dumb if you ask me. It's worse than a virus attack on the Internet. This stupid record thing is slowing down the whole Internet -- and for what? So that Mozilla can claim that a lot of people download a piece of software on one day? Dumb.

Also, I couldn't even get on the "spread firefox" site. I'm guessing a lot of people are trying to download from there.

I think that world record thing is pretty dumb. I guess if they're trying to make themselves look important it will be all smiles, but really, who cares?

If you want the Firefox 3 browser without all the fanfare, here's the direct link:

http://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-3.0 os=win %20lang=en-US

Note: this is the official 3.0 release, not a beta or release candidate.

Important: Don't forget, if you only want to use Firefox as a secondary browser not your primary web browser you must un-check the checkbox during install that states Use Firefox as my default web browser .
