The much anticipated version 3 of the Firefox web browser is due for release — but instead of just putting up the application for download, the Mozilla Foundation is orchestrating Firefox Download Day 2008. Download Firefox on the date they release, and you can be a part of world record-breaking history.

Quite an ingenious way to chase a larger slice of the web browser marketshare. And hey, I am all for it. Firefox is a quality open source application whose weight and influence in the browser market helps spur innovation and keep all the other software vendors on their toes. I’ve been using Firefox for years, so sure, I’ll show my support and help chase the Guinness World Record for most software downloads in 24 hours.
