Firefox Version 3.0

Download Day 2008
You can click on this red box and go to the Firefox record download page. Once there you can sign up to download on a certain day (to be announced) and participate in breaking a world record. Clever promotion that will hopefully inspire folks to start using the Firefox browser instead of Internet Explorer. I switched many years ago and have not looked back. Internet Explorer is still the default browser on beach house machines due to Windows Automatic Updates. Microsoft will not let an alternative browser do updates automatically.

Still, I am a devoted fan of Firefox and another browser sponsored by Mozilla.org named Sea Monkey. This post is being made with Firefox. There was a slight glitch about a month ago for a less than a day. Other than that Firefox has been trouble free for many years. BTW, Firefox is a free download. It also will stop many forms of spyware from infecting your computer. There are versions for most OS flavors too. Will keep you posted.
