Help Firefox 3 set a world record!

On download day, Mozilla is looking for everyone's help in setting a world record for most downloads in a 24 hour period. I figure I'll do my bit come download day. You can make a pledge to download on the big day. I made mine. Will you?

Hi,
"Firefox" is THE free independent Internet browser you can download and use instead of your MS "Internet Explorer" browser. But beware, you might not come back to MS's IE after trying Firefox. This one has all the features MS constantly steals and incorporates in it's own browser a year or two later . Speaking of multiple register cards, mouse functions, editing tools for forums ...
Reminds me XP slowly began to look and function in a way Apple did this some 10 years ago, along with IBM's OS/2
Greetings,
Catfish

I use safari and it is pretty good.

Before switching to Firefox, make sure that all the websites you normally visit sill support it. While the list of unsupported sites is getting smaller and smaller, I found out the hard way that my university's website and tools won't operate with firefox.

Firefox rockssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would suggest anyone who does not use this browser to give it a try. It is much more secure, and has more tools than any browser I have ever used.

firefox 3 is nice for putting around with, but if I need a web browser that's functional, nothing better than IE6.

Opera is indeed superior to all others with its amazing downloading capabilities and easy to use IE7 format.

Er... what? All companies in the world that give out downloads would probably want to set "Most downloads in 24 hours" world records. What am I missing here?
