Set a Guinness World Record
Enjoy a Better Web
Sounds like a good deal, right? All you have to do is get Firefox 3 during Download Day to help set the record for most software downloads in 24 hours - it’s that easy. We're not asking you to swallow a sword or to balance 30 spoons on your face, although that would be kind of awesome.The official date for the launch of Firefox 3 is June 17, 2008.

Just for fun's sake, and nothing else, I have also pledged myself to download on that day... even then I'm already using Firefox 3 since their RCs (Release Candidates).
Why use Firefox 3? Cause it's better in every way compared to Firefox 2 (even though you think it couldn't get any better) - faster, smoother, less memory hogging, etc.
The only reason to not move to Fx3 is incompatible extensions... but that didn't stop me from moving to it either
.You wouldn't be disappointed on the looks department either. Fx2 have a single static look accross all platforms (Vista, XP, Mac OS) except Linux, but now Fx3 beautifully integrates itself into those different plaforms.
This is the Main Window of Fx3 accross Vista, Linux, Mac OS and XP :
Cool eh? The best integration would have to be the Mac OS version ofcoz. Now Mac users can't complain about Firefox looking like crap (though there are already lots of themes that blends Fx2 into Mac OS).
Ofcoz, just the Main Window is not enough - the icons, Options menu, Bookmarks menu etc are changed as well. Check them out here...
