That’s right! Firefox 3, the browser that has it all, is finally here for download. With over 15,000 improvements, it has been officially released today by Mozilla; a long awaited and needed update.

The people over at Mozilla are calling out for Firefox supporter’s help; and considering all that they’ve done for us in the past (oh you know, create possibly the best web experience ever), I think we owe them one; at least enough to be there when they call us out for support.

So what it is that they need us to do for them? Simply download the new Firefox 3 web browser. Oh? Yeah. Mhmm. That’s it! Mozilla is trying to set a Guinness World Record for the most software downloads in a 24-hour period. The official release of Firefox 3 will become available for public download at 10:00 am PST, that’s only less than 10 minutes away! It will take about a week for the Guinness World Record judges to review Mozilla’s download logs so we should find out whether or not Mozilla successfully broke the record around this time next week.

Judging solely on the frantic buzz of Mozilla and Firefox supporters, I can astutely say that the record will most likely be theirs.

We at sixmode, have opted to not download the Beta releases of Firefox 3. We are very excited about this release.
