Send to KindleWell, it’s finally here. I was all set to do my part with helping them attain the nonsensical world record download numbers.
Both Lois and I use Firefox as our primary browsers, and I have an ancient laptop that I occasionally use in a hotel room that I was going to upgrade, and one other one that I sometimes use as a guest machine. So, I was about to legitimately download it four times (I hate all manners of ballot stuffing, so I wouldn’t download multiple times just to up the count!).
Lo and behold, 10am PDT came, and the Mozilla site is 100% unresponsive. Way to plan for a world record!
Fully 15 minutes later, when you would think they would have been aware of the problem and would have switched to Plan B (they did have a Plan B, no?!?), the site is still pathetically slow (at least it finally loads!), but amazingly, it still only offers the link to Firefox 2.0.0.14!
How embarrassing…
I’ll still download it when I can, because I love the product, and everything I’ve read about version 3.0 makes me want it, so I have no desire to punish them, or cut my nose off to spite my face, but this one definitely goes in the pile of monumental screw-ups…
