Help Firefox enter the Guinness Book

50px-Firefox-logo.png

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.

And to "pledge" that you will participate :

Only 14 Lebanese are participating at the moment, let's at least triple that :)

PS: the official date for the launch of Firefox 3 will be posted soon

oh, and i'm loving firefox 3, it's WAY faster than any other browser. the only problem is that many extensions are still not compatible
