It’s been dubbed Download Day 2008 and that magical day is Tuesday, June 17, 2008, where Firefox creators want to set a Guinness World Record for most downloads in a 24-hour period.

The current count of folks who have pledged to download Firefox 3 stands at 1,425,827 as I write this.  The site they have set up to track how many people Pledge to download Firefox 3 during Tuesday, June 17, 2008.

The site also has a map that updates dynamically displaying how many folks have pledged to download around the world.  Kind of fun.

In their words:

With more than 15,000 improvements, Firefox 3 is faster, safer and smarter than before.
