Firefox 3 is out on June 17 and it looks like Mozilla is trying to set a new world record for most software  downloads. They've labeled next Tuesday "Spread Firefox: Download Day".

For those who've been eagerly awaiting the next Firefox but have been too scared to deal with release candidates, Firefox 3 will be released Tuesday, June 17th. (That's just next week.) And yes, they're trying to set a marketing ploy world record...

I don't know what any of those numbers mean, Daba.

Just kiddin'.

It's available now (but being really slow, predictably)

They had some delays it seems, but it's downloadable now...

 ...."The outpouring of interest and enthusiasm around Firefox 3 has been overwhelming (literally!). Our servers are currently feeling the burn and should be back to normal shortly. Download day will officially commence once the site goes live," Mozilla said.

....

Update 12:01 p.m. PDT: The clock is ticking for the download record attempt. The official 24-hour period began at 11:16 a.m. PDT, when the download began working in Europe, Mozilla told me.
