I was pretty much waiting for the announcement that the final version of Firefox 3.6.4 has been released. Imagine my surprise when I saw the notification that yet another beta build was released first.
I have been a beta user ever since the first version of Firefox 3.6.4 came out. The latest build is a security and stability update which makes it a recommended update for everyone who is already working with Firefox 3.6.4.
The only viable source of information at this point is the Bugzilla bug listing as the release notes do not list changes in beta and alpha builds separately.
Bugzilla lists many critical crash bugs mostly related to plugins. Seems that the developers are still working on the out of process plugin capability which is likely to be responsible for the crashes.
Firefox 3.6.4 users should receive an update notification directly in their web browser. The new build of Firefox is also available on the developer’s site for all operating systems and languages.

I am also looking for the final version
I was surprised too. Thought it is the final now. At least an annoying bug is gone for me. I have the heise.de newsticker (http://www.heise.de/newsticker/sidebar2.html) in my sidebar and the previous build did not update the ticker and showed me on top the active tab a warning that firefox prevented this side from automatic reloading.
