… The number of Firefox 3.0 downloads the Mozilla Foundation claim took place within 24 hours of the browser’s launch. At least three of them was me. Thanks to nerd. for reminding me! The Telegraph’s Claudine Beaumont reports that the world record attempt almost ended in failure.

I was looking up the address of my Placement Supervisor and it seems staff now are able to update a personal Google Pages site of their own.

You can try-out Release candidate by downloading from the Mozilla website. However I suggest using the Firefox 3 RC1 Portable Edition, as it won’t overwrite your existing Firefox install and your Add-ons won’t get messed up.
