Just a few minutes ago, Mozilla released the much anticipated 3rd installment of Firefox – arguably the better browser out there (that’s a Mac user saying that!). The idea of announcing a FF3 Download Day was great in terms of awareness in media and blogs and incentivating downloads with a 24hour record attempt is something nicely viral indeed.
Unfortunately, as it looks at this minute, Mozilla wasn’t really prepared to satisfy the traffic they would cause with this. The site is unavailable and the FTP server doesn’t let in any more users. Bummer and almost a rookie mistake. Nonetheless, I’ve tried the release candidate for a few weeks now and it’s definitely worth making your window, door, handle and key to the Webworld.
