  • spread firefox fail

The makers, or should I say, the marketers of Firefox 3 have come up with a clever campaign for the new version of Firefox. Break a world record for most downloads of a piece of software in one day by getting people to pledge to download on a certain day. Well that day is today and it would appear they've swamped themselves. I haven't been able to connect to the Spread Firefox site since I got the email from them to download about an hour ago. Firefox can't connect to the spread firefox website. This is a special kind of fail.
