I'm currently using it. I have noticed accessing my gmail account has improved significantly regarding speed. Also graphic resolution and efficiency of use a big thumbs up too. Started using it when living in the UK and have always stood by it. Number one. Only use IE for messenger and finding Firefox to install...

DenMan · 16-06-2008, 18:14

Maybe it's the Beta version I have.

Creamy Goodness · 16-06-2008, 18:34

it has severely cut down on the time it takes to process javascript and AJAX hence why gmail loads quicker as it's an AJAX site

Just go to this webpage and they email you to "remind" you.

damn

Mozilla says in order for the record to be legit only 1 download per PC.

Also for the record a download means a complete download of the setup file: updates arent being counted by Guinness apparently.

Are they counting by ip address? Those on dynamic ip can just reset their modems to get a new ip

OK... when does it start! what timezone is this record relating to??

ShoulderChip · 17-06-2008, 01:16

i dont know its driving me mad, when will we find out mozilla?

Soundman · 17-06-2008, 01:18

I reckon it will be 5am our time at the earliest since the record would (I imagine) be monitored from the USA.

**dolanbaker** · 17-06-2008, 01:26

Just had a look at their contact details, California nearer to 07:00 GMT (08:00 IST)

For the record I believe it needs to be 24 hours in one timezone.
