    Hey, I have a great community idea for Ganymede. Lets challenge the community to beat Mozilla’s download record. How about it…

    Ian - I think that might be an idea. But all of those FoE will jump the queue and won’t be counted; a bit like Michigan and Florida. Still, no doubt Denis will be keeping track of the download stats and can answer the question afterwards…
