Pledge For Firefox 3.0 Download Day – June 17, 2008

Firefox 3.0, the latest version of the popular open source web browser, is attempting to set a world record for software downloads in a single day.

On Tuesday June 17, over 1.3 million people (as of this writing) have pledged to download the new version of the software.  I've been using a beta release of the software for a month or so and have to say it's a massive improvement over the current release. 

More info (including a very cool map showing how many people have pledged per country) is available here: Spread Firefox | Download Day 2008
