Firefox wants to set a Guinness World Record for the most software downloaded in 24 hours on June 17, 2008. And I have just pledged to download my most favorite browser to help make it come true. As of this writing, 876,074 people from all corners of the globe have already vowed to download Firefox 3 on Download Day.
You too can make your pledge by clicking here. I am writing this post using Firefox 3 Beta 5 running on OpenSuse 11 RC1 and I can attest to the fact that Firefox really gives you “increased security, blinding speed and cool new features that will change the way you use the Web.” Firefox is absolutely free, no strings attached.

Thank you for this update. I’m using FF as my browser with my Feisty (no plan yet to upgrade) and it really rocks. Thank you also for the inspiration to blog. Partly out of boredom also, i just started my own simple blog.By the way,I was moved by the docu-video.Shempre,starring Migz and Tenet.More power.
What a neat idea! I’ve just convinced a friend to make the switch to Firefox, which she happily did, and will be assisting another friend in getting Firefox onto her Mac tomorrow afternoon. I think the Firefox download day is a brilliant idea, and I certainly will do my part to help publicise that.
Thanks for sharing this, Fr. Stephen! I hope all is well with you.
This is such a sneaky marketing ploy that everyone should be aware before participating!
@ Katexter – Firefox is a Free and opensource software. The Mozilla Foundation, the organization behind Firefox, is non-profit and it devotes its resources to promoting openness, innovation and opportunity on the Internet. Since it is non-profit, the finances of Firefox are audited and on the public record.
Yes, Firefox earns from the Google (and Yahoo, Amazon, Ebay, etc) search functionality included in the browser, but you must also keep in mind that you are not obliged to use Google (or any search engine for that matter). You can disable or remove any search engine. You can also add the ones that you like. If you want to know how to do this, I can teach you. The best thing about Firefox is that it is not only Free/OpenSource, it also gives users multiple choices.
