The world’s largest football tournament will kick off this week with much fanfare and plenty of opportunity to celebrate. Ever worn a team jersey, painted team colors on your face in support or waved a flag from your car after a victory? There is another way to express your team spirit, and it doesn’t involve paint or fabric – just your Firefox web browser!

Firefox is the most customizable browser in the world. There are close to 150,000 Personas (easy-to-use backgrounds that let you personalize the look of Firefox) now and a specially designed set just for this tournament. With Firefox Cup Personas you can customize your browser and flaunt your team spirit.

Being in front of your computer doesn’t mean you have to miss out on all the action, you can participate with the Firefox Cup.  To take part in this global competition, choose one of these 32 Personas to support your team.  Firefox 3.6 makes it possible for you to change your Persona in a single click and without a restart!

On the Firefox Cup website, you can easily see how many “fans” each team has (i.e., how many people are wearing each team Persona on their Firefox). The team with the most fans will win the Firefox Cup!  We’ll announce round winners on the following dates:

• June 16th: Round 1
• June 23rd: Round 2
• June 30th: Round 3
• July 7th: Round 4
• July 14th: Overall country winner announced!

You can also stay on top of scores and news within your Firefox browser with the FootieFox add-on.  No matter where you are in the world or your time zone, you can catch all the action and support your team with the Firefox Cup!

The winning country will be showcased on Mozilla’s sites and more, so be sure to cast your vote by wearing your favorite country’s Persona today.
