Download Firefox 3 Now and Make Guinness World Record History

Well I know it is quiet silly, but you you bet it is a nice marketing stunt that works. Urging people to download Firefox 3 and be part in breaking a new Guinness World Record. But to do that you need to download Firefox now, or basically until 5pm UTC/GMT time.

Earlier they were taking pledges from people that they will be downloading on download day which was decided few days ago. Heck even I got into it and added a button in my blog to encourage people to do so.

Ofcourse Firefox 3 has a huge number of improvements, they claim its around 15 thousand improvements, watch the Firefox 3 features tour, which just gives you a quick look into the new Firefox. I was following beta after beta and I can confidently tell you that Firefox 3 is so much better than Firefox 2 but more importantly it is really better than any other browser out there, the only other browser that I can think that would be as good as Firefox is Opera which had their version 9.5 released few days ago. Sadly their release did not go with a bang like Firefox, only the very loyal Opera fans knew about it.

I can easily say that Firefox is the favorable browser by those new to Computers and Internet equally as to those who are power users and if you wish “techies” or maybe “geeks”. I am not writing a love poem about Firefox, every application has its problems, but judging with what is available now, Firefox is the best.

I will be writing few posts during the following few days about Firefox and its new features. So if you wanna be part of the Official Guinness World Record go and download Firefox 3 now

WhatPage: Without Installing any Software Rotate your Home Pages

I do not usually use specific home pages, I use Flock browser, so I get “My World” page which does all what I need. But if you usually set a Home Page in your browser, and if you have couple or more websites you like to have as home pages WhatPage.org is what you need.

After you signup and login you enter to your list page, where you can add upto 100 URL’s to be your homepages. You can order them the way you want to. You are given one link to use as your homepage in your browser. After setting your browser, everytime you open your browser or click the “HOME” icon you are sent to a new URL from your list.

What is nice about this service is that it is hassle free, and has no ads and you simply do not need to install anything. But for those who use firefox it is very simple to set multiple Home Pages. I guess nowadays I rarely see people have more than one main start page. Most of the people I know either rely on start pages such as iGoogle, Netvibes and Pageflakes or rely on the sorts of “My World” in Flock browser, or simply reload last browsing session
