Do you use firefox? (You have to hate me for asking such a stupid question, ofcourse you do!)

If you do, then you have to know about this piece of news.


The Firefox community has planned for having a "Download Day", coinciding with the launch of Firefox 3. It's a pretty cool concept: Download Day is the community's attempt to set a Guinness world record for the most software downloads in 24 hours! Ain't that cool? Hell yea!

There isn't a definitive date when Firefox 3 goes out the door yet, but the tentative time is in June.

You can be a part of the download day by downloading Firefox 3 as soon as it is available, preferably from the official Download Day Headquarters! You'll get a customized certificate by downloading from Headquarters!

Since the Firefox Launch date isn't fixed (and in turn the Download Day date), you can "Pledge" to download Firefox 3 on the Download Day and then you'll be sent reminder emails and get notified of the exact date, OR, even better, you can follow mozillafirefox on Twitter!

This event is the first of its kind! Firefox 2 had 1.6 million downloads on it's launch day, and we're looking forward to a booming 5 millions downloads this time.. or even more!

If you love Firefox, Spread the word about the Download Day! Tell your mom, tell your friends, tell your enemies, tell everyone!

Here's a few other things you should do:

• Plan an impromptu Download Fest at your school, office, or home - anywhere with an Internet connection. Or, attend a Firefox 3 gathering.
• Join one of the following social networking groups and invite all your friends.
• Find your Firefox Campus Rep and see how you can help today or what festivities you can join.
• Follow mozillafirefox on Twitter
  
• Goes without saying, Add our buttons or banners to your site, blog, or profile.
  
• In case you haven't yet, checkout the cool new Firefox 3 features at the DD HQ.
• Catch in on the latest buzz about Firefox 3 World record in the Community Forum
  
• Check out the cool "People who've pledged" map at the DD HQ homepage.

PLEDGE NOW!

PS: You'll also get an official participant certificate, though that really isn't the point.. :)
