According to the Firefox twitter page Firefox 3.6.9 will be released very soon, although they're still pushing for most end users to download version 4 beta.
Ever since the plugins container was introduced in version 3.6.7, there has been a major performance slowdown reported by many, even on newer systems. There is a way to disable the plugins container, but even after doing so, it still doesn't make much of a difference in overall performance.
Sad to say that it appears Firefox has hit a wall with their browser. If they do not improve stability, load speed, plus memory usage soon, and spend less time creating cosmetic enhancements like personas, they could lose a lot of their following to Google Chrome, even though I would rather force myself to get used to IE 8 again, than use any product that has Google's name attached to it.
