use Firefox 3.0.18 or Firefox 3.5.8 before patch was released

Thanks for the news, I don't think its of much concern though, and I'm not about to revert versions. I'm sure they will release a patch update very soon to address this even if its just this issue.

Me too, i'm using FF 3.6 in KIS Safe Run (Sandbox) Environment.

But using "Firefox 3.0.18 or Firefox 3.5.8" is the best recommended solution before patch was released.

Yes! Historically alpha releases are the most stable builds of any software, you can't go wrong!

It's a work PC, so who cares.

I moved to the 3.7 Alpha. Theme is different. I don't know what features it has as I did not go looking around through the options.
