Comment:

 This ticket got closed without noticing the language in the actual nag
 message for ff 3.6.x
 "It looks like you're using an old version of Firefox. '''Using an
 outdated browser makes your computer unsafe.''' For the best WordPress
 experience, please update your browser."

 I think it's worth revisiting that language, which is counter to the
 arguments in this ticket that the nag is focused on promoting features,
 not scaring users. This is an unnecessarily scary message for one rev back
 on ff.
