Firefox 3 intended to create a world record for the most software downloaded in 24 hours .
June 17 was fixed as the release date and when I tried to download yesterday, the servers were down.
They seem to be back online now and you can download the latest Firefox from the below link:

At the time I downloaded, 14K people had downloaded FF3 from India compared to 1063K downloads from US 🙂
Also don’t forget to check the "Tips and Tricks" page; it will help you to get the most out of Firefox 3
Lifehacker also has an interesting post on the history of Firefox (with Screenshots)

Which is best tech tips sites that you are using like makeuseof , lifehacker etc ??
Well, I did my part. Downloaded it as soon as I could 🙂
firefox three is a pretty sick web browser, i did contribute to the record!
Suresh – I do track Lifehacker and Makeuseof; but their posting frequency is something that I can’t keep up with. I rely more on Digg and sometimes Techmeme which help in highlighting the top tech posts 🙂
Raj – Congrats on being part of the World record 🙂
Genesis – I am sure you meant “slick”. Firefox is defnitely not a “sick” web browser 🙂
the first time i saw the release of firefox3, i automatically downloaded it.
Well, I like Firefox, too. But it seems to be a bit slow. Sometimes, it shows update for add-ons. But, anyway it’s still my favorite browser.
interesting site it really learns me a lot.
thanks for the information i will apply that.
