New version of firefox released

Here’s another item from the SANS Newsbytes newsletter.  I’ve gotten the new version that was set up for Portable Apps and I still am not happy.
Firefox takes a LONG time to load and it’s slower than molasses in winter at times.  I’m disappointed because I love Firefox but this version….I dunno.


 –Firefox Update Incorporates Crash Protection
(June 22 & 23, 2010)
On Tuesday, June 22, Mozilla released updates for Firefox versions 3.5
and 3.6 to address nine vulnerabilities, six of which are rated
critical.  Firefox 3.6.4 also incorporates crash protection.  If users
running the latest version of Firefox experience a plug-in freeze or
crash, users can refresh the page instead of having to restart the
browser.  The current version of the feature allows users to recover
from Flash Player, QuickTime and Silverlight plug-in crashes for users
running Windows and Linux.  Mozilla plans to expand the crash protection
to other plug-ins and operating systems.
