   As suspected, at around 17:00 GMT, when Firefox 3 was scheduled for release, the web servers at Mozilla.com seem to be overloaded, or to have fallen over.

   Either this is because of a huge number of people attempting to download Firefox as soon as it was released, or a Denial of Service attack by Microsoft Internet Explorer supporters.

   For an number of reasons, I suspect it is really the first option.
