Download Day is our attempt to set a world record for the most software downloads in 24 hours and will occur on Firefox 3 launch day.
When is Download Day?

How do I take part in the record?
It's simple--just download Firefox 3 as soon as it is available, preferably from Download Day Headquarters. You'll get a customized certificate by downloading from Headquarters.

Please provide your email address when pledging to download Firefox 3 and we'll send you reminder emails and notify you of the exact date. Or, you can check back at Download Day Headquarters for an update or follow "mozillafirefox" on Twitter for status.
How can I help, other than downloading Firefox 3?
The best thing to do is spread the word about Download Day – tell your mom, your neighbors, your colleagues – anyone and everyone!
Forward this to your dear and near ones
