Download day Announced!

17th June 2008

That’s the official release date that has been announced for Firefox 3 on the Mozilla Developers blog! So lets get ready to implement our pledges and download the best browser out there!

EDIT: 15th June’s “The Hindu” newspapers features an article about Ubuntu and Firefox, how they rock and why they are great for Linux newbies!

Lets spread Firefox!

Download Day 2008 will soon be unveiled and hundreds of thousands of people will prepare to download Firefox 3! The higher the number of people who download, the higher the chances of setting a Guinness World Record. Read more about it by clicking the image above.

Though, Firefox is being pushed as a great browser (and it no doubt is), let us not forget that it is also like any software subject to bugs. There does seem to be a sort of careless piece of confidence running around (“If I use Firefox, I am pretty much secure from viruses”, “Firefox is very secure”, etc), and this is very wrong. Let’s be alert and know that Firefox like any other piece of software is not infallible and is actually far from it. So don’t spread Firefox for the wrong reasons! Don’t let people think that they are invulnerable because they use Firefox! People should learn that it is always part of their responsibility to remain alert and not get complacent with security.
