Firefox 3 will be released today which makes today Firefox Download Day 2008.

Firefox 3 will also offer more than 5,000 add-ons, including Shareaholic which allows you to share, bookmark, and e-mail web pages quickly via a wide array of web 2.0 social Web sites. Shareaholic currently supports: digg, del.icio.us, facebook, foxiewire, friendfeed, google bookmarks, google reader, healthranker, kaboodle, magnolia, mixx, myspace, pownce, reddit, simpy, stumbleupon, streakr, truemors, tumblr, twitter, ycombinator, bzzster and others.

If they wanted to break a record you'd think add enough servers to support the traffic. I guess I will try tomorrow.

All of the Mozilla websites seem to be overwhelmed - just can't get the page to load on any of them.
I tried:
http://www.mozilla.com
http://www.spreadfirefox.com/en-US/worldrecord
http://www.getfirefox.com/
All of them timed out! :(

Why is it that I only see firefox 2.0 and firefox 3.0 RC? The new version doesn't seem to be refreshed on the site yet....

I downloaded FF3 shortly after it was released but was forced to revert back to FF2 as most of my add-ons would not work in the new browser...what a sad day that was!
