Firefox Download Day - Help Set a Record

[Broni]

Their last security update for Safari was almost 1 month ago: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1222

Does not include the Windows ver.    if it does the exploit was after the April 2008 update.

Last I read Microsoft and Apple were still disputing who needed to fix this issue. What's unfortunate is Apple's decision to have this as an option to install during the QuickTime update.

The conspiracy theorist in me wants to think Apple is doing this to make Windows and its users feel unsafe and/or at risk and Microsoft doing this because they don't want to loose anymore users to an alternative browser.

Today is the day.

Here is the final. http://www.filehippo.com/download_firefox/

Does downloading from Filehippo count for the record though?
I wonder why it's not yet on Mozilla's site.

not sure, seems strange. I'm downloading my copy right now, just in case. If it becomes available on mozilla, I might download it again just to make sure it counts.

Edit:
An article just showed up on /. saying that the firefox3 download day will start at 10am PST today

Depending on your time zone, some are 10am, some are 1pm.

Not sure if just downloading the installer counts. Installing it would count no matter where you get it from.

10am PST

PST means Pacific Standard Time. Sorry for the confusion.

The record they're aiming for is downloads, so I assume that just downloading it would count.
To the best of my knowedge the pledge I made didn't ask me to install it, just download it.
I wish they'd made the time known beforehand, I've been waiting around for the download for what seems like ages now, and I still have half an hour to go until 6PM GMT (or 10AM PST).

I can't even get on Mozilla's website right now...

I keep getting "Http/1.1 Service Unavailable"

-=EDIT=-
Oh, I've finally been redirected.
