Firefox 3 Download Day

   Google Inc. decided to lead a P.R. campaign by trying to set a world record for the greatest number of downloads in 24 hours with their product Mozilla Firefox. The campaign started an hour ago and of course the website is down. The official Mozilla website also went offline for a while. I had the good intention to take part in setting the record :( Bad for me I guess. If you are looking for a new browser you can just download Internet Explorer 7 here (it works).

   Update: As noted in the comments I am offering link to Opera. I truly believe this is the best web browser but as stated in the article The Broken Web I also believe that using anything but IE7 makes the web worse.

   Update: Microsoft's IE team showed good manners and sent a cake to Mozilla. You can see it here. I wonder if Mozilla's devs will eat it and how long before they die after that.

Probably they've made the record already that's why they just stop the web site to realize the servers :).

Now the website is up but it keeps offering Firefox 2. At least to me. Maybe it is discriminating me?

They offered Firefox 3 for me, so maybe they're really discriminating you.

They should be actually incriminating you!

"They should be actually incriminating you!"
For offering a link to Internet Explorer 7, when you should offer a link to Opera 9.5 ;)
