If they're running something else, tell them "You can keep your existing browser, Firefox will read in its bookmarks when it starts"; if they're running earlier Firefox tell them Firefox will seamlessly keep their bookmarks, history, etc. Regarding the Upgrade page: The three clocks are confusing. Light blue reads as a good color, so it seems I'm getting less goodness. "3,669 ms" is hopelessly geeky. "3.67 seconds" is obviously better. And the stopwatch advance doesn't match the times, it's showing 45 seconds, 8 seconds, and 3 seconds. You put weird markings on the stopwatch as a hint these aren't seconds, but it's "truth-y" graphics at best. If you had regular 12 division clock face and showed actual second hand positions with recognizable "1.52 seconds!" underneath them it would be more readable and more impressive. Cheers, Definitely reassure users.

OOOR.. Merge all content to one page... so that getfirefox and mozilla.com and mozilla.org are all the same page or point to the same URL. Mozilla.com should be about the organization. not about downloading its products. If it has a download on mozilla.com.. then get rid of it on getfirefox and .org.. I also think that all of the products should be easy to find.. or clear as to if its a mozilla product or not. What about Bugzilla? What about branches like seamonkey, songbird, sunbird, chatzilla.. I never know if I'm supposed to find them at a .com or .org or hidden in the developer pages. I think content is good. but it should be easy to know where the content is first. By making the pages more user friendly.. you have gotten rid of content and thrown it on a different URL completely... Or you could make a new page called www.whatmozillapagewillhavewhatimlookingfor.org *gets off of soap box* I have aired my thoughts 2-3 months ago with the whole thing.
