The Firefox (Mozilla) team wanted to break the Guiness World Record for the most downloads in a 24 hours period for its new Firefox 3.0 browser. Although it seems that 9 minutes after placing the precious package on their Website, it went down. Oops.
I just received an email from Firefox to tell me to go get the software. The link they provided me directs me to a page where it says “Download Firefox 3.0″, but just below, the version no. is still 2.0.0.14.
I think the PR team never really consulted the technical team as to how many people they could handle downloading at the same time. Also, I think they never tested their Website modifications before they went online, because their links are bogus.
They might make an excellent browser, but they certainly also succeed at making fools of themselves!
Update: the links are now all fixed… it’s downloading!
