Firefox 3 Download Day FAQ
guys do read on how to take part
How do I take part in the record?It's simple. Just download Firefox 3 as soon as it is available, preferably from
Download Day Headquaters. You'll get a customized certificate by downloading from Headquarters.
When will we find out if we’ve officially set the record?This will take approximately a week after our attempt date. Our judges and Guinness World Records™ need to review our download logs and validate our record attempt.
What is Mozilla doing to make sure the record attempt is valid?Mozilla will only count downloads that are
fully and completely transmitted, not partial or complete updates. We will also discard duplicate downloads with the help of a cookie system. We will be logging our downloads using Apache and these logs will be made available for audit to Guinness World Records™, as well as two judges - Corey Shields and Paul Vixie.
What qualifies as an official download of Firefox?A "download" is the transmission of the entire, fully functioning Firefox 3 --
not an update.Do we have to reach a specific number of downloads in order to set the record?This is the first record attempt of its kind so there is no set number. We'd really like to outdo the number of Firefox 2 downloads on its launch day, which was 1.6 million. Let's shoot for 5 million--the sky is the limit!
How do I download an official participant certificate?A special form will be available on the Download Day Headquarters as soon as Firefox 3 launches and Download Day kicks off. Simply enter your name and select print for your very own certificate.
