No update for Ubuntu's Firefox yet still with 3.5.7, but then again no slow problems with Firefox using linux compared to when i switch to XP and load up Firefox it drags its arse.

Umm have you considered trojans and malware in the XP partition?

3.6 is noticebaly faster than 3.5.7 and 3.5.7 was not slow either....Good job Firefox! I'm thrilled to have dumped IE eons ago and will never look back. Firefox all the way!

I still remember when Netscape navigator was sued by Microsoft resulting them to shut their browser development. . .now it seems IE has to compete with the likes of Firefox which is a tonne better than it....karma comes back soon enough

No none whatsoever otherwise other programs would drag its butt or act strange too. Try Ubuntu and see what i mean your notice a huge difference in speed when using FF etc. I cant stand MS Windows but i still need the damn thing for gaming Go linux and support Free software sharing no copyrights BS

I didn't notice much difference between 3.6 and the previous version. I've made the jump to Chrome, anyway, so FF seems slower all the way around. Now that Chrome 4 has been released and extensions are available (like Ad Block) I have no reason to use FF anymore.
