MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., May 28 /PRNewswire/ — Mozilla today announced
its intent to set a brand new Guinness World Record for the largest number
of software downloads in 24 hours. The record-setting attempt is planned
for the launch day for Firefox 3, also known as Download Day. Mozilla is
inviting its global community to spread the word and join the effort by
pledging to download Firefox 3 and hosting regional download “fests.”
Since 2004, the Firefox community has grown to more than 175 million
users. Firefox is available in more than 45 languages and used in more than
230 countries. Every day, the enthusiasm of the community is reflected in
grassroots efforts happening all over the world as people share Firefox
with their friends and families. Download Day continues this tradition by
harnessing the energy of the Firefox community to improve the online
experience for people everywhere.
