Mozilla is doing a fun little thing around the release of Firefox 3 today — they’re trying to set a world record for downloads in a 24 period:

Have you attempted to set a World Record with no luck? Well, now is your chance to change that! Help set a Guinness World Record by pledging to download Firefox 3 today. And, help spread the word!

It would help if any of their sites told you that it starts at 1PM Eastern (10AM Pacific) — but, well, I guess I just did.

I’m assuming their download page will update with version 3 when it’s ready, so go grab yourself a copy!

Update 2:30PM: Apparently writing a browser is the easy part — keeping the website updated with the proper links for downloading is the hard part.

You might want to wait a bit to give Mozilla’s crack web staff time to update their site. Sheesh.
