Two things of note:

1. The update offer of Firefox 3.6 to users of Firefox 3 and Firefox 3.5 is the first time we’ve ever done an offer to a .0 release to our user base. We’ve always waited until the .1 release or later. We did this because we were able to measure improvements over 3.5 in terms of performance, reliability and add-ons compatiblity.

2. This is the fastest uptake we’ve ever seen. From the metrics blog. Check out the fancy hockey stick:

Basically we’re learning how to get people to adopt and how to drive the release process even faster. We’re also doing this in our beta and alpha channels. We’re doing preview releases of Firefox.next every couple of weeks now, testing out new features and themes and driving the feedback process faster and faster.

It’s a crazy ride.
