I'm lookin forward to 3.7 cause it will have multicore support, not like Chrome or IE8 with different tab/core support but about twice as fast as what we have with 3.5.7

I have to add that it's responding a little faster as in load time and some browsing than the previous release after I've run it for a while. It doesn't change internal settings that I've changed to tweak it which is good too.

shouldn't it be:

Not the Windows NT 5.2 part, that refers to Server 2003.

How to Use Old Add-ons (Extensions) in Firefox

1. On the Address bar, type about:config and hit Enter.
2. Click the I’ll be carefull, I promise button.
3. Right-click wherever you want on the window.
4. From the menu click New and Boolean.
5. A small window will appear. In the Enter the Preference Name blank field, type the following key extensions.checkCompatibility and click OK.
6. Set the key as False.
7. Restart Firefox for the change to take effect.
8. Install your old add-on.

Note: This hack may cause your Firefox to crash if used to install very old add-ons which are completely incompatible with it, so be careful. In Firefox 3.6 and further release you will have to the release number after the key. Ex. extensions.checkCompatibility.3.6, extensions.checkCompatibility.3.7 etc.
