I will add a few things:

7. I told firefox-3.1 to use a copy of the firefox (3.0) user profile (created at the first run) so the risk of breaking the default firefox is null. We did the same last year with firefox-3.0 when firefox 2 was still the default. The advantage is that both versions of firefox could be used at the same time. This will be reverted using the same profile migration UI when 3.1 becomes default.
8. System wide addons and plugins are looked for at the same place as for 3.0, so no need to do any transition.
9. the packaging of 3.1 evolved at the same pace as the 3.0 one, thanks to a lot of Bazaar branch management, so a bug found in one, is almost immediately ported to the other (when it is relevant).
