I'd go with set a world record. But I can't wait to use the new features of FF3.

Largest Wobble Board Ensemble

The largest wobble board ensemble involved 359 employees of Airmiles, who wobbled their boards for a minimum of 5 minutes to the tune of 'Tie Me Kangaroo Down Sport' in Bolton, UK on July 12, 2007.

i just read this on the firefox website. I think at Duel, Moe needs to get 365 people with wobblies to beat this record

Re: FireFox Download Day - June 17 2008

I didn't know that Firefox 3 was out of beta already already. A little odd that they're trying to set a world record while its still in beta.

Anyway, I've been using the latest Firefox 3 release candidate for a while now (because I find Firefox 2 extremely sluggish to the point of being obnoxious). Although there are some new features, I hardly notice them with the following exceptions

Better auto-complete in the address bar
Huge back button
Not all of my add-ons work (hardly a feature)

However, one problem with it is that it crashes multiple times per day on my computer. This is really just an inconvenience, as I can click the button to restore session and I'm back up and running again in a matter of seconds. Nevertheless, it is a slight problem. I don't know if others have been having this problem or if its just me (I'm running vista on a year-old hp desktop pc)

EDIT: According to spreadfirefox.com, the official release date (and download day) is tomorrow, June 17. It's already here for those on the east coast.
