Sweet! This will make it significantly easier to download Firefox nightlies on Leopard, especially with Safari. Instead of (wait, click agree, wait, drag) it will just be (wait, drag).

in Beta Users and Security Releases on In Pursuit of Mysteries
I think there should be a "Include beta versions" checkbox in Options - Advanced - Update. mconnor didn't like the idea when it was proposed in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26... but maybe you can convince him to change his mind. (My argument would be: "I'd rather ship beta versions to a few too many users than ship beta-quality releases to everyone.")

Did you know that Firefox has 3 modes? Quirks, almost-standards, and full standards.

"What happens when we do security updates? (usage goes down as anti-virus software updates get propagated, but recovers over the following week or 2)"

Do you mean that anti-virus software is suspicious of the new version of Firefox and prevents it from running or from connecting to the Internet? If so, eep! What percent of Firefox users does that happen to? How long does the effect last? What can we do about it?

Perhaps CVS blame + CVS commit messages could give you a hint as to why it was changed back to signed, and who changed it.
