Firefox 3.6 has just been released which might come as a surprise to some users who just read the news a few days ago that Firefox 3.6 RC2 had been released. It is very likely that this second release candidate and the final release are identical due to the short time span between the two releases.
The new Firefox 3.6 release is currently distributed to mirror servers worldwide to ensure that it can be distributed to Firefox users without performance problems as soon as the release has been officially announced on the Mozilla website and through the web browsers’s update checker.
It is likely that popular download sites like Betanews or Softpedia will pick up the release before it is officially announced at the Mozilla website. Users who do not want to wait a second longer can download the English version of Firefox 3.6 for all supported operating systems from Mediafire where we have uploaded the files for them.

Annoyingly, half the extensions I use are not compatible with 3.6, phooey!
too many broken essential extensions–sage and prism i’m not doing without
back to 3.5.7
this is great news for every internet users especially those who uses firefox
In my opinion, Mozilla should take care of “Forward Compatibility” for the existing Extensions in all the future releases.

I am an expert of SEO and always prefer Firefox for my work due to its compatibility with add ons and softwares like Robo Form
