With FireFox 3.0 in sight of launch, the eyes have been set at creating a Guinness World record. And FireFox is very vocal about the fact that; its the users who can make it happen.

The number indicates that 40,000 users have already sworn in to make things happen for FireFox and the number is bound to increase in a short span (they have put a world map that shows the number of pledges form different countries). The idea is to create hype, and make FireFox appear like something BIG making its way to the Web world and why not?

We have been hearing about the bulk of improvements with which FireFox is coming with. All that has been said, let’s just give a simple click and wait if FireFox does set fire to Guinness Records (as the most downloaded software?).
