Quoting: Set a Guinness World Record Enjoy a Better Web

Sounds like a good deal, right? All you have to do is get Firefox 3 during Download Day to help set the record for most software downloads in 24 hours - it’s that easy. We're not asking you to swallow a sword or to balance 30 spoons on your face, although that would be kind of awesome.

By the way, the official date for the launch of Firefox 3 will be posted here soon - so check back! Join our community and this effort by pledging today.

All I want is for the final release to make its way into Ubuntu and for Google to get off its can and port Gears to it already.

If they could just make it work with Iceweasel, I'd be happy. I'm sure it's entirely hackable, but I haven't looked into it.

Not the GLX bench-mark?
