use Firefox 3.0.18 or Firefox 3.5.8 before patch was released

Thanks for the news, I don't think its of much concern though, and I'm not about to revert versions. I'm sure they will release a patch update very soon to address this even if its just this issue.

Me too, i'm using FF 3.6 in KIS Safe Run (Sandbox) Environment.

But using "Firefox 3.0.18 or Firefox 3.5.8" is the best recommended solution before patch was released.

Yes! Historically alpha releases are the most stable builds of any software, you can't go wrong!

I moved to the 3.7 Alpha. Theme is different. I don't know what features it has as I did not go looking around through the options.

Version 3.6.4 Released!

Firefox 3.6.4 provides uninterrupted browsing for Windows and Linux users when there is a crash in the Adobe Flash, Apple Quicktime or Microsoft Silverlight plugins.

If a plugin crashes or freezes, it will not affect the rest of Firefox. You will be able to reload the page to restart the plugin and try again.

Firefox 3.6.4 also fixes the following issues found in previous versions of Firefox 3.6:

* Fixed several security issues.
* Fixed several stability issues.

Download:

http://www.mozilla.com/products/downloa ... lang=en-US

Also for those wondering there was a tweet a few days ago about Flash 64bit almost done so you can use 64bit browser version!

@derdirk We are working on 64-bit versions of 10.1 for Mac, Win and Linux. The old Linux build had too many bugs from an old code branch.

Rather unusual as they skipped 3.6.5 and also released 3.7 Alpha 5 today so that tells me they are nearly ready for 3.7 full with HMTL5
