Yes, it’s time to download the Firefox 3 browser, and this time there’s an actual reason to do it on launch day. They are trying to get the Guinness world record for the most downloads of a piece of software in 24 hours.

You don’t have long left, as the Firefox people themselves say…

Please download Firefox 3 by 17:00 UTC on June 18, 2008. That’s 10:00 a.m. in Mountain View, 1:00 p.m. in Toronto, 2:00 p.m. in Rio de Janeiro, 7:00 p.m. in Paris, Madrid, Berlin, Rome and Warsaw, 9:00 p.m. in Moscow, and June 19, 2008 at 1:00 a.m. in Beijing and 2:00 a.m. in Tokyo.

I’ve already downloaded it for the PC, and it works pretty well.

    I was going to download firefox 3 but i heard it breaks a lot of add-ons. I think I will wait for all the glitches to be worked out before I download it.
