Firefox has been my browser of choice since at least 1.5 (2004?) and it’s provided consistency across the various OS’s I’ve used during that time – Ubuntu, Windows 95, Mac OS/x and Fedora.

There are a number of reports that Firefox is seriously eating into Microsoft’s dominant market share – start here.

Mozilla are planning a big Firefox 3.0 launch to keep the momentum going and as part of that are organizing an attempt to break the world record for most downloaded software in 24 hours. More details here.

I’ve been using the various FF 3.0 betas for a while and continue to be impressed and I’ll be adding at least 5 downloads to the record attempt.
