The development name for Mozilla Firefox 3.0 was Gran Paradiso.[48] "Gran Paradiso", like other Firefox development names, is an actual place; in this case the second-highest mountain group in the Graian Alps.
In 2006, the development team asked users to submit feature requests that they wish to be included in Firefox 3.[49]
The Mozilla Foundation released the first beta on 19 November 2007,[50] the second beta on 18 December 2007,[50] the third beta on 12 February 2008, the fourth beta on 10 March 2008, and the fifth and final beta on 2 April 2008.[51] The first release candidate was released on 16 May 2008. The second release candidate was released on 4 June 2008 followed by a third release candidate (differing from the second release candidate only in that it corrected a serious bug for Mac users) on 11 June 2008. Mozilla engineers shipped the final release on June 17, 2008.[20][52]
NetApplications notes that the use of Firefox 3 beta has been increasing rapidly up to a usage share of 0.62% in May 2008. They interpret this increase to mean that Firefox 3 betas are stable and that users are using it as their primary browser.[53]
Firefox 3.0 was also Colbert-bumped on its release date. The effects of the Colbert bump are widely unknown, but some believe it may improve popularity by 300%.[54]
[edit] Guinness World Record
Firefox 3 just after hitting over 8 million downloads during Download Day 2008.The official date for the launch of Firefox 3 was June 17, 2008, named "Download Day 2008". Firefox was aiming to set the record for most software downloads in 24 hours. There is not currently a standing record for this feat.[55] As of June 19, 2008, more than 10 million people have downloaded Firefox 3.[56][57]
Download Day officially started at 11:16 a.m. PDT (18:16 UTC) on June 17.[58] With the announced date, the download day was June 18 for timezones greater than GMT +6, which includes half of Asia and all of Oceania.
The large number of users attempting to access the Mozilla website on June 17 caused it to become unavailable for at least a few hours and attempts at upgrading to the new version resulted in server timeouts. The site was not updated for the download of Firefox 3 until 12:00 PDT (19:00 UTC), two hours later than originally scheduled.[59][60]
When "Download Day" ended at 11:16 AM PDT (18:16 UTC) June 18 [61] 8,249,092 unique downloads had been recorded.
