If you could find out before the announcement it might do well in
calming some fears as this is likely to be one significant area of
concern for our users - and our detractors.

If you could build a pre-release version of Firefox containing this
change from a trusted developer (asac?) then I'm sure you could find
some people who would be happy to run it for a week before you
announce. I know I would, and I don't even use Firefox as my default
browser. At least that way you'd have some data to look at and have a
set of concrete answers for people.

Cheers,
Al.
