As with all new software releases, I plan on waiting a month or so until they discover (and fix) whatever happens to be wrong with it

You don't have to install it, you could just download it to help them get more publicity for it. If you're that worried about it, then don't recommend it to your friends/family as they ask you to, but surely it's got to generally be a good thing for this to get more attention?
I'm not sure I see the point in clogging up their bandwidth with a download if I don't intend to use it right away. Besides, its not my job to do their marketing for them, admirable open-source project or not. 'Tis a gimmicky event, and nothing more.
I'm happy sticking with FF2 until I actually intend to upgrade, which will probably be in a month or so, after the usual wave of minor bugs and security problems have been swept up.

Off topic: Adopting software early and submitting detailed bug reports for anything you run into is generally considered helpful.
Oh, definitely. But as someone who only uses the computer for a bit of light entertainment of an evening while doing other things, I just plain can't be bothered with all that. Odds are I wouldn't even notice the bug (minor, easily fixed, but still overlooked security issues say, the like of which accompanied both the FF2 and IE7 releases (FF notably fixed them a hell of a lot faster, incidentally)) except in the case of terrible disaster. I mean its not like I'm a power-using web developer, here
