Later today Firefox 3 is being released and you can help set a world record by downloading it free. Mozilla, the creators of Firefox hope to set the world record for the most software downloaded in one day.

If you don’t know what Firefox is, or have never tried it you’re missing out. It’s a free web browser that you can use instead of Internet Explorer which is faster, safer and easier to use. What’s more, it’ll import your settings from your current browser making the transition seamless and there are hundreds of optional ‘add-ons’ that you can install to improve your browsing experience or add new features such as official Firefox eBay Companion that lets you keep track of your eBay activities. Download Firefox.
