Flaunt your Mozilla and Firefox shirts in December!

David Rolnitzky is kicking off a "No Laundry in December" or at least until your stash of Firefox and Mozilla shirts run out:

Some static FF bars, Part II.

For some reason, i was not able to edit my older post at www.spreadfirefox.com/node/1559 so now i opened a new topic for my buttons, banners for Firefox. Come and check them out!

Using Affiliate Points

I've started to accumulate some affiliate points, but how do I use them? Can I use them to buy stuff in the Firefox Store?

monetary reward program

Offering a t-shirt in exchange for points isn't very serious, and the top 250 links page doesn't count for much because of the nofollow tags. I think if you want to motivate existing affiliates and bring professional internet marketers on board you really need to provide a monetary reward program. Reading the other comments in these forums I see some people are asking questions like "what are the use of the points?" and "do we get paid?".
My suggestion is that affiliates should be rewarded an amount that's at least 30% of the expected 1st years average profit on each of their conversions. The soon to be discontinued adsense referral program for firefox / google toolbar combination seems to pay approximately 75c per conversion.
The payment isn't just about profit, but also about reimbursing affiliates for advertising costs in promoting firefox as well as paying due recognition to affiliates for sacrificing their precious time. A more reasonable compensation program is going to result in more time, effort and money directed towards promoting firefox.
Alternative ideas, disagreements or agreements welcome....

Downloads from Iran

Have people noticed how many downloads there are from Iran? 500,000+ is a significant number, especially compared to countries of the same region. Any thoughts on how this is so?

Africa on Safari

Is the reason that Africa contributed so little to the download record because they all use Safari? :P

Firefox 3 Download Counter don't work anymore - all Counters = 0

Why the official Firefox Download Counters don't work anymore?

My Yahoo! Widget gets the Data from the official Download Counter Website and now it don't work anymore.

:(

 

WHY ?

Memory Hog?

I have heard some people say that Firefox 3 really improves on the amount of memory that Firefox uses although for me this isn't the case. As I type this message Firefox is using about 195,000K of memory and has at times exceeded the 200,000K mark.

Firefox Rox..

yeah so firefox 3 hv really new features n its quite fast now... eats less memory.. thats d main gud point of it...

Lithuania downloads unexpected?

Is there an anomaly in the data from Lithuania? Their statistics were reported to be comparable, if slightly ahead, of Estonia most of download day. Then suddenly they surged past Germany. Is there a mistake or manipulation, or a logical explanation? Who audits this sort of thing? I know there is some audit mechanism because of the Guinness Book of World Records attempt.

Problem with Babylon translator

It seems that Firefox 3 has problem with Babylon.
Babylon cannot recognize text correctly. It is using OCR on a picture. Any ideas?

Rolling back to 2.0.0.14

Unfortunately the kind folks at Dohzilla didn't do the responsible thing and make rollbacks readily available after a big update. For those of you wanting to downgrade, it's available via FTP here:

ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/2.0.0.14

 

Get it while it's hot before Dohzilla removes the files from their servers.

Lost Downloads

Does anybody have an estimate of the number of record-breaking downloads that didn't happen yesterday because the web team decided to wait until the day of to check if their download links worked?

Good work. Duh.

 

HELP - My Theme Looks Wrong!

I have downloaded Firefox 3, and am using the default theme, but it looks nothing like the firefox you have been advertising. E.g. my back button is the same size as my forward button - i thought they were going to change???? Have I set it up right? I am running XP and my specs meet the requirements.

Big problem with downloading the Bulgarian version - 404 error

When I click download Firefox 3 the system automaticly selects the Bulgarian version (because I'm from Bulgaria :P ) and then a 404 error appear. Obviously the Bulgarian version hasn't been uploaded to the server.

More than 5 Million downloads in Brazil

Hello, since yesterday (June 17) Firefox 3 have 5.622.214  downloads in Baixaki.com.br, that is one of the more expressives

FIREFOX 3 - SHOWING BOOKMARKS IN ADDRESS BAR

Hi

Re: Firefox 3

Polar stats

Why no Polar region tracking for the download statistics?  Even Chad with its 1 copy downloaded was tracked.

Is there anyone who took the data from

Will the data progression be made available to pubblic?

Thanks

DOWNLOAD.COM

Hey, i just visited download.com where they put firefox 3 as a featured download, and as of this moment, it has registered 13,955,885 downloads! MUCH MORE THAN ON THE OFFICIAL SITE! something has to be done about this!

Most of the downloads made in India are attributed to the US

Most of the firefox downloads done from India are attributed to the US. The reason being, almost all the Software companies in India have a leased line which connects to the US network. Even our IP addresses are mapped to that domain. So, all the FF3 downloads we do today will be accounted as downloads done in the US.

I wanted to make a half  banner for one of my websites that would match the color pallet.  Here is it if anyone else want it :)

FF3 really rocks!

Thanks

I really wanted to say thanks to the two lonely people in the Republic of Congo who have downloaded thus far.  :D  Your fellow firefox users all over the world thank you.

Track Firefox 3 switch rate

You can check how many people (approximately) switched to FF3 by going to wakoopa.com/downloadday! Pretty fun to see... keep the adoptation going!

Why has June 17th been such a disaster.

Apart rom no one knowing when downloads would start, by thetime I received an email, I was aready prepared to give up. Yes I'd put the advertisng banners on my website.
which were quickly deletd, when everyone realised that nothing was happening.
Finally downloaded this long awaited, firefox 3.
Installed and it crashes. Try to send crash report.

Problems downloading... Getting Fx2.0.0.14

Hi There.

Earlier I managed to get Firefox 3 for my Laptop successfully. I just got home and tried to get it for my desktop, but the En-US download page on Mozilla (that I end up on after clicking "download 3" on World Record Page here at Spread Firefox), only shows Fx2.0.0.14 available at the moment. Firefox 3 has been lost from that page!

What a world-class LETDOWN...!

 

If the organisation and planning of this day are indicative of the goods to come, then I'd rather pass...

Hasn't the whole thing been ruined by annoying your users?

When you have sent out emails to most of the world saying that it will be available on the 17th and you can only provide it 17 hours late - don't you think the whole thing is wrong?

You will only get this record now - because no-one else has the record - not the record you could have had though with a bit of organisation!

Download link

I think that download link will be:

http://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-3.0&os=linux&lang=en-US

substituting 'linux' with your OS and en-US with your locale

It's correct?

or exist another direct download link?

I've alpha tested 3, beta tested, and been using the rc for a time now. And I was checking my version, and lol behold, I'm using  Firefox 3.0

Not rc, but the real deal. Anyone know why they are choosing to release the offical download a day after the autoudate for us testers?

I suggest create one more map of FireFox „PLEDGE“, where we can see percentage for <pledged people>/<country population>

In this manner, we can see the most-active country ;)

Hello everybody,

How will you be counting the 24 hours of D-Day? Perhaps you should give the time limits in universal time so that we all know when we can download FF? This should have to go on the FF home page, on MozillaZine, etc.

FF2 and FF3 Passes IE

Today, I've watched my little blog's stats recorded the first time FF2 passes IE7. OK Ok, I know what you guys want to say but considering most of my readers are from China and Australia (where people mostly use IE 7 or even below), this is great! And to make it more comparable, last year IE 7 users outnumbered FF2 users by nearly 70%.

The 17 of June World wide or 24 hours to make a record?

So I suppose that Download Day is in fact only 24 hours, and considering the diffrent time zones somewhere Download day could start at midday or 6pm or what ever. So it will be nice if a table with the larger citiese would be provided so that everyone knows exactly the hour when the creating the record would start.

Macedonia was misteriosly changed to FYROM after we already pledged.

When I pledged on the 28.05.2008 on the map my country was named as it should be Macedonia.

Now it has been misteriosly changed to FYROM. Why have this happened?

It is ofending that it was changed in the map after I and ~1.300 from Macedonia already pledged to participate in the Download day when you called my country with it's proper name.

How did you discover FF?

This could be a fun discussion. My question is: By which means did you first hear about FireFox

 

1. Heard or saw it at a friend's.

2. Came across it on the WWW

3. Got it on a CD

4. Saw it in a magazine.

Taiwan is a province of China

Well, I'm not that politically sensitive. But when I found that Taiwan was originally marked as "Chinese Taibei", but changed to Taiwan as a country because a Hungarian said it should be, I was angry.

Download counter

Hi guys. I have a question. On download day, will there be a counter showing the exact amount of downloads that there have been? I would love to see the number as it goes up.

 

Also, if I had, say RC2, and I updated it via the help menu, would it still count toward the final count?

Mapping projects

It would be nice to have more incarnations of the map, e.g.

* per capita

* per connection

* per computer

FF3 Download Day, How Many?

Already there is about 800,000 compromised to collaborate in the Firefox 3 Download Day.  But, really ¿how many downloads would be needed to reach the record of downloads in 24 hours?

Which feature of FF DONT you like?

Somewhere in the lifespan of a Mozilla user, he/she will come to a point where he/she will ask him/herself "Why did I download Firefox and why am I so impressed every damn time I open the browser?"

There could be thousands of explanations, but the best answer would simply be, it's a damn good browser!

Source code for spreading cannot be viewed in Firefox.

I tried posting the codes for Firefox world record found in: http://www.spreadfirefox.com/affiliates/homepage?destination=affiliates%... on my blog. I also saved it as html and opened it with firefox but it did not work. It can be viewed though using other browsers.

Why should I pledge?

My country isn't even on the map. It's really odd. All the other countries around it are there, but there's this huge voide where Saint VIncent and the Grenadines is supposed to be. It's like we don't exist.

When did YOU start using Firefox?

As I walked home today, my mind drifted into Mozilla bliss, and I tried to recall the day that I started using Firefox...

As you may think, I was unable to find the exact date or time. I know why. The first time I downloaded it, I downed it because

I was tired. Tired of Microsoft's over-expensive licensing of their products. Mostly, I was just tired of Internet Explorer,

 Furthermore I heard of an independent state within australia (east coast (?)). Also misses.

Incorrect Indian map

The map on the Firefox 3 pleadge is incorrect. It shows POK to be a part of the pakistani territory. 

Since POK is a disputed area a representation like this highly disturbs the feelings of the indian public.

Hypocrisy

Why is it Firefox jumped all over Apple for Safari but is now doing the same thing Apple is doing?

Run a Speed test to see which is the faster browser. Learn which is more compliant to open standards. And take anything M$ says with a sack of salt.

Download Day or Period?

I hope that the 24 hour period for the download record does NOT straddle two days, but is the 24 hours of ONE day.  With all the time zones in the world and date line troubles would it not be easier for all to  settle on a 24 h period  of one calendar day?  Just a thought.

Islas Malvinas

 

Hola a todos,
con todo respeto, les pido a los directivos de la fundación Mozilla Firefox, que en el mapa de la pagina de incio, corrijan el error de nombrar Island Falkland, cuando lo correcto es ISLAS MALVINAS, territorio perteneciente a la REPUBLICA ARGENTINA, que actualmente esta usurpado por el Reino Unido.

Suggestion To Firefox Team - Integrate Firefox 3 Downloday Day Into Firefox 2 with Addon

I bet there are a lot of people like me who would gladly download firefox 3 on download day to help set the record, but would probably forget about it.

Will installing Firefox on all computers at my school count?

I was reading the rules when I got to the part where they log the downloads. If I put a copy on every computer at my school will it count only as one? Or will each download count individually. I'd like to know before actually doing it.

release date

This will be more effective if we would have a concrete date for the release, or at least an estimate that we could get out to the public.

Hello,

I saw your Download Day 2008 idea, very nice! I thought that it would be nice when there's a Dutch version from that page. I'm from The Netherlands, so maybe you'd like it when I translate it?

Kind regards,

Part of India Missing...

I request the admins to please use a World map which is politically accurate and correct the current mistake. A huge part of India [as big as Albania!!!] is shown to be a part of a neighbouring country. At most this portion of our country can be claimed internationally to be 'disputed'. Such mistake isn't expected from responsible people at Firefox.

Albania - something strange..

What's happening with Albania? They're growing too much in the Pledge map!!!

Every minute there were about 200-220 new pledges, but since half an hour ago there have been being about 280-300, and the difference is all Albania...

 

Uhmmm..I think somebody wants to win the race in an "illegal" manner...

Will it be Poland, Germany, Spain, the UK, or maybe some sudden change will come? What are your predictions?

In any case, let's go Europeans, let's show the world what we're capable of!
