Participants are asked to pledge to download Firefox 3 on the day that it's launched. The exact date hasn't been scheduled yet, but everything seems on track for June." Link to Original Source

That's not necessarily a bad thing. If you can get the commercial media to pick up on something like this "world record" you can obviously gain a lot of publicity.
That said, the actual "world record" is a bit silly, considering it's just bits on a wire.
But it could also go a long way toward giving FireFox the notoriety it needs with the few remaining "IE-only" developers that I've run into recently.
