Firefox 3 Download Day – Update 2

Finally, all seems to be stable on Mozilla’s side. The sites are running fine now, both Mozilla and Spread Firefox sites. I used FF3 for around 2.5 hours while I was in office, and it didn’t give any problem. No crushing, no hiccups of any sort. The experience is better than FF2, which used to crash every now and then at the beginning.

After I returned home, took dinner and turned on my Mac, I downloaded FF3 for Mac OS X 10.5.3. Sweetly enough, it has not given any problem on my Mac either. When I went to Spread Firefox site, I found a new link to “Fluant It!“. You can enter your name and print a certificate that tells says you’ve successfully downloaded Firefox 3 to help set the record.

Last I checked at 9.04PM ET, total download counts 2,418,235. Around 1.7 million people pledged to participate in the record setting attempt. Total download has clearly passed that number. Exactly 15 hours and 56 minutes to go before the Download Day is over. Mozilla targeted 5 million downloads in 24 hours to set the Guinness World Record, which I think is well within the range and total may as well pass the targeted number.
