This message came up yesterday when I opened the  firefox browser.

Mozilla team wants to see Firefox in the Guinness World Record. Its kinda cool to see Firefox in the world record list. The date for that is not yet set.Right now pledge to download Firefox 3 on that day. All we have to do is download Firefox 3 on that specified date, so that we set a world record of highest downloads within a span of 24hrs. You can have a look at the people who have taken the pledge to download, a nice map showing the number of users is on the homepage.

 

 

Maybe they got this crazy idea by seeing some craziest records set. The official date for the launch of Firefox 3 will be posted on the site. So take a pledge to bring Firefox in the Guinness World Record.

Firefox 3 has a nice caption "The browser that has it all" .

Apple's new web browser for Windows was downloaded more than a million times in the first 48 hours of its release, the computer group has said.

The Windows version of Apple's Safari will compete with Microsoft's Explorer and Mozilla's Firefox and expand the 4.9% market share it enjoys.

Steve Jobs launched "the fastest browser on Windows", saying it was twice as fast as Internet Explorer. It was previously only available for Macintosh computers.

Rearrange or remove menuitems from the main context menu (right-click menu) and main menubar (File Edit View etc.). So when you install a fresh Firefox installation or add lots of addons or extensions like we do, then the right click on Firefox is in a mess. So to arrange the items in this right click menu, use Menu Editor.

This will help you re-arrange all the items in the right click menu. This is the perfect add-on for slimming down menus, especially when you start to get loads of add-ons. Its a must have for people who have lots of extensions. Like we have Google Toolbar, Clipmarks, Scrapbook,BlueOrganizer, Internet Download Manager addon..

It should be in the Recommended Add-Ons list on Mozilla Extensions site.
