Anyone running it? Can you tell me how well it is working out for you?

I'd love to use FF more and take advantage of the great plug-ins, but the damn thing crashes so much on my 64-bit FF12 install, that I have to use Chrome or Opera (I like both, but both have their strong & weak points).

So I'm just wondering if anyone has seen any improvement with 3.6. Of course, I know I'll get the ones who say that FF 3.5 didn't crash and neither does 3.6, lol.

Hmm i just installed F13 yesterday (downgrading from F14/rawhide :)) and firefox 3.6.3 is working great here. Also i still have F12, and i also have frequent crashes in firefox in F12. So yes, 3.6 is definitely an improvement in that sense (one of the reasons i switched over to F13 before release). All my installs are 64 bit.

I've been running FF3.6.x in F13 x86_64 for a while. It's pretty darn solid. I did notice earlier in the development cycle FF used to crash more often when I was running 3.6.0 and 3.6.1. These days running FF3.6.3 it almost never crashes and on the very rare occasion that it does I just blame it on flash (not that I have any proof of that, but it sounds good anyway ;) )
