This message came up yesterday when I opened the  firefox browser.

Mozilla team wants to see Firefox in the Guinness World Record. Its kinda cool to see Firefox in the world record list. The date for that is not yet set.Right now pledge to download Firefox 3 on that day. All we have to do is download Firefox 3 on that specified date, so that we set a world record of highest downloads within a span of 24hrs. You can have a look at the people who have taken the pledge to download, a nice map showing the number of users is on the homepage.

 

 

Maybe they got this crazy idea by seeing some craziest records set. The official date for the launch of Firefox 3 will be posted on the site. So take a pledge to bring Firefox in the Guinness World Record.

Firefox 3 has a nice caption "The browser that has it all" .
