The Mozilla team is going for the world record with the official release of Firefox 3. They want to be the most downloaded software in the first 24 hours after release ever. Im saying ever because this record attempt is a first, there is no magic number to beat and it will be the first entry in the Guinness Book of World Records.
Firefox 2 reached about 1.6 million downloads in the first 24 hours and thats probably the figure that needs to be reached as a minimum but only the sky is the limit as the FAQ on the page points out.
Dedicated users can pledge to download Firefox 3 during release day. Its a pretty nice table sorted by countries. Currently more than 79K users have pledged to download Firefox during release day with the United States taking the lead followed by Spain, Poland and Germany.
If you want to pledge to the cause visit the Spread Firefox site and add yourself to the list. The release date will be published on that site as well.
