The Spread Firefox website has a forum post announcing the official start of the Firefox 3 download day as 10 a.m. PDT on June 17th. The local times are listed here.
This means I can’t start downloading Firefox 3.0 until 1PM… the tension is unbearable! 
The Mozilla developer center announced yesterday that Firefox 3 is expected to release on Tuesday June 17th. It is accompanied by a large amount of compatible Add-Ons, and is expected to break a record of number of downloads in one day.
The Mozilla Foundation is trying to get into the Guinness Book of Records by setting a World Record for the most software downloaded in 24 hours. They plan on accomplishing this goal by having as many people as possible download Firefox 3.0 on the official launch date.
To participate, head over to Download Day 2008, and either monitor the site to see when the update day arrives, or pledge to download and be informed by e-mail when the big day arrives. As of this moment, over 66,000 people have pledge to participate, with about 12,000 coming from the U.S.
