After installing it it kept freezing and crashing on me.

Some issue with plugin-container.exe hogging memory resources and not co-operating with Vista.

Have reinstalled Firefox 3.5 and will stick with that till its sorted out.

No problems so far TWD, have Firefox 3.6.6 using Windows XP.

3.6.6 on Windows 7 with no problems

\you'll probably need to fix Vista rather Firefox.

3.6.6 on vista ....no problems...(do not have many plugins)

I have installed Firefox 3.6 and use it some times without facing any problem. Maybe your windows has problems.

OK. I get the picture....

3.6 saw FF dropping support for the getBoxObjectFor() method and has a bug with readystate() firing off events too. Loosing getBoxObjectFor broke a lot of web apps, but devs were warned ahead of time.

Some extensions may be 'compatible', but buggy if they use the above mentioned methods. I found extensions that used readystate() prior to ajax calls made FF chew a lot of memory. Disabling these extensions solves the problem.

I got the sh!ts with 3.6 and rolled back to 3.5. Too many online apps that I use require getBoxObjectFor to work. So I'll update after they're all patched.

I found that running 3.6 in FFox Safe Mode with all extensions disabled still caused crashing problems.
