Guys!

Mozilla Foundation is offering to "immortalise" people's names in the code of Firefox 2.0, if they manage to persuade a friend to download its Firefox Web browser before 15 September.

To commemorate the creation of Mozilla Foundation three years ago, Mozilla announced on 15 July that if Firefox users persuade a friend to download Firefox, both the user and the friends' names will be added to the source code of the latest version of the browser, Firefox 2.

"Share Firefox with a friend. If your friend downloads Firefox before September 15, you'll both be immortalised in Firefox 2," said Mozilla Foundation in a statement.

So do it here.

How will our names be included in Firefox 2?

If both you and your friend opt-in to have your names included, we’ll add your names to an interactive Firefox friends display that will be accessible from within Firefox 2.

This is just a marketing gimik , Just to attract more users to use their product. One i have given my name to a site which would store my name in a satellite and then sent into the space

If I want my name to be written on the browser I use, I write my own browser.
That's the way I prefer. I have already created a browser. Also I have my name
written on it.
