Mozilla will try to set a Guinness World Record: the most downloads of software in the first 24 hours of its release, A.K.A “Download Day”. Mozilla has received over 1 million pledges to download the software on the day of its release. This day is Ten years in the making. The Mozilla project is a global group who believe that openness, innovation, and opportunity are key to the continued health of the Internet.

“March 31, 1998 is the date that Mozilla was officially launched. It's the date the first Mozilla code became publicly available under the terms of an official open source license and a governing body for the project the Mozilla Organization began its public work.”
