Personally I’m all for FF, it’s my preferred browser, but this smells more like marketing combined with a clever way to get tons of people to user FF3. For those non-commitment ‘I don’t want stuff installed on my computer’ types, you can always use the Portable Apps version, which I personally use and LOVE:

As of this posting, we’re almost reaching a million download pledges for the US alone. Nice!
