Today is the day Firefox 3 will be released in its “final” form (whatever that means in the world of software). I use both Firefox and IE, but have been using Firefox more and more. By all accounts, Firefox 3 will be a faster, more efficient browser. Of course it is free.
I have pledged to download a copy today as part of the effort to set a world record for software downloads in a 24 hour period. The challenge begins at 1:00 pm EDT: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/.

How did it go?

The Firefox site was overwhelmed for a couple hours after the download challenge began, but I was able to download a copy later in the afternoon with no problem. I heard they had over 8 million downloads. Not sure if the record was set or even what the record was. I mostly use Firefox as a portable application from a thumb drive, and as yet the new version is not available as a portable app.
