ruphus13 writes "Firefox has been pushing version 3.0 very aggressively, and firmly believes that it is a solid product. The Download Day was just one of their ways to drum up user support for the new release. Now, Firefox is going to 'gently nudge' users of Firefox 2.0 to upgrade. Several users are waiting for their add-ons to get upgraded, but now, according to the article, "If you've been on the fence about upgrading to Firefox 3.0, Mozilla is planning to give you a little nudge. Sometime within the next week, people using Firefox 2.0.0.16 will see a request to upgrade and though you'll have the option to decline, it's likely Firefox will ask again anyway."..."users will most likely be offered a second change to upgrade after "several weeks."" It will be interesting to see if this speeds up the upgrade by users, as well as upgrades of the add-ons."
