Get it while it's hot! (pun intended :)

If people regarded Firefox as only the geek community's choice, it may not be for much longer:

They're going to run a full page ad in the NY Times, due sometime in a three-week period in late November/early December.

Can I just upgrade my preview release, or should I uninstall that and do a fresh install?

I'll try installing over my current version (0.9.3) and will let you know.

No worries, I was planning on doing it anyway - it works, but you'll probably have to go back to using the default theme.

It retained all my bookmarks (and cookies etc). None of my installed themes were compatible with the 1.0 release but it checked for updates just in case.

Then there's the widespread perception that Microsoft's Internet Explorer is vulnerable to security breaches. "There's the fear surrounding IE over potential exploits," said Wilcox. "We hear a lot about the potential vulnerabilities of IE but not so much about the exploits of those vulnerabilities."
