Both sides appear to have settled on prompting and asking instead of silently taking over. If we go down this road, what stops ie from doing the same thing on service pack updates? | Both sides appear to have settled on prompting and asking instead of silently taking over.

==Suggestion - Firefox "Mixes" to Download== | |||
I've always felt the immediate impression that Firefox gives on first use is a little "meh". The default skin is plain to the point of being unattractive, the default feature set simple and unexciting. | |||
I do strongly agree that Firefox should be kept stripped-down and minimalistic at heart. But as well as this barebones version, I think it should also be available for download in a selection of "pre-customized" packages. These would install Firefox with a combination of add-ons and skins that had been thoroughly tested to work well together, which could be aimed at particular types of users. | |||
This would greatly raise the chance that the new user would feel they had found something special, that felt like it was "for" them. It would also immediately introduce them to extensibility, which is one of Firefox's most absorbing features. | |||
Community members could concoct and post their own Firefox "mixes", and vote on which will be offered on the download page. | |||
