I can't comment on promo strategies, but I can comment on news since I read a 
lot of them.

FF pointless releases get small coverage, FF releases containing interesting 
features get the same coverage as they did before. For example:

Firefox 201 has speed improvements and security fixes. This one appears 
barely.

Firefox 202 contains new interface. This one appears everywhere as old firefox 
releases did.

Actually, in the old fashion FF releases only the most important changes (like 
new interface) got press coverage anyway... so not much have changed.
