What a Firefox, freeware fiasco! Strong accusations of ethnocentricity have been made over on the Firefox 3 Download Day forum. People are upset. But don’t worry. Firefox is free, right? You’ll eventually get a copy of Firefox 3 and I bet you’ll be able to get it within in the 24hr download day period.

After all the confusion about the actual starting time of the Firefox 3 Download Day, it appears that the anxious users have brought down the Mozilla network. Tuesday, June 17, 2008 was advertised as Download Day, but, as many people found out as the clocks rolled around to June 17 in their neck of the woods, Firefox 3 Download Day is California-centric. Officially one should begin downloading at -800GMT (10:00AM USA Pacific Time). One slight problem, however: the web site’s down. Perhaps with the Mozilla server down I’ll get all the traffic directed to KataDrew.com after everyone googles “Firefox 3 Download Day” for alternate download locations. But you wouldn’t really want an alternate download location because that would cancel out downloads counting towards the Guinness Book of World Records record for most downloads in 24 hours. So, if you’re here and you’d rather be downloading and using Firefox 3, leave your angst here. Come on, crash my server, too!

Or, you can just download Firefox 3 from me or browse around on the Mozilla FTP which appears to be working still (use this option to choose a language other than English).

And, oh yeh, there’s only two ways to live.
