Firefox shoots itself in the foot with bad communication…
Firefox wanted to get the world record for the most software downloaded in 24 hours today with the release of Firefox 3.0. It would have been a quite good marketing ploy, but they kind of ruined it for some people because they didn’t communicate at what time they would publish Firefox 3.0. Europeans, Asians and everyone else east of the US just assumed that it would start on their July 17. On the SpreadFirefox forums there are lots of angry voices, even some that say they will download it this weekend instead of today.
Firefox will still get the Guinness World Record, because they’re the first to “try”. If you still want to download Firefox 3 today (like me :D) you can do so starting 10 AM PDT here.
