Just pledged to download it!! 
I will most definitely download it when it comes out! It would be awesome if Firefox pulled it off!

It certainly will. If it is pulled off, at least we can say we played a pretty good part hehe.

Yup, I hope they list all the countries that helped out in setting the record. Might be kind of long but oh well. 
They better make sure their servers can handle all the traffic though. Though you will probably be able to download it from just about anywhere. I think...

I'm not sure it will be available on sites such as MajorGeeks until the 24 hours are up, otherwise they won't know how many downloads. Only time will tell. I think there servers will be ready. I would imagine that they are adding more servers as we speak, in preparation for "Download Day". They deserve this, anyway.  |

Pledged, can`t wait myself and I`m really looking forward to it.
I just hope the almighty memory leak that has plagued FF for years is finally plugged.

OK so today is the day!! But does anybody have any clue as where to download it??? I think maybe you can here --> Firefox web browser | International versions: Get Firefox in your language
But I am not entirely sure as its a "release candidate". So does anybody know?
*EDIT* Oh never mind. I don't think it has quite started yet. Quote:
We’re just over 12 hours until the start of the long-awaited Download Day! Our Guinness World Record attempt will start when Firefox 3 is officially launched at approximately 10:00 a.m. PDT (17:00 UTC) on Tuesday, June 17th.
At that time, please check out the official Download Day site to download Firefox and for a map of worldwide downloads!
| So I guess when it starts we will be able to download it at the "Download Day site".
*EDIT #2 * For me it will start at 1:00 PM. so in one and a half hours!!! yay
