Firefox 3.5.5 was released today and addressed several stability bugs that may lead to crashing in very specific cases like sites that use a GIF image as their favicon. See complete Release Notes for full details. Auto-updates should be occurring in the next 24-48 hours, otherwise users may get the latest update by going to Help menu and selecting Check For Updates. Also, a reminder from Mozilla Developer Network, If you’re still using Firefox 3.0.0.x, this version is no longer supported and contains known security vulnerabilities. Please upgrade to Firefox 3.5 by downloading Firefox 3.5.5 from www.firefox.com. Source: Mozilla Links

A big thanks to Gareon at Go Firefox! I have found there is now an add-on which will vacuum your place.sqlite database for you and from within Firefox.

While I did download the Firefox 3.6 Beta 1 release last night, I have finally got around to getting it installed. My system has been a bit problematic for the better part of the day.
