The last major Firefox update (version 3.5) proved to be a huge success and by the end of last year became the most popular browser version in the world. Mozilla today released Firefox 3.6, promising enhanced overall performance and stability. The latest update is said to be 20 percent faster than Firefox 3.5.
Besides the added pace, it comes packed with a bunch of new features and subtle improvements, out of which the new Personas feature and automatic plugin updates are the notable ones. Using Personas, it is now possible to personalize the browser's appearance with a single click and without a restart. Mozilla's online repository of Personas for Firefox boasts over 35,000 designs.
The latest Firefox version is sensitive to outdated browser plugins. Its ability to automatically detect outdated plugins may not be revolutionary but is a welcome addition from a security standpoint. Also, there are a few under-the-hood improvements aimed at developers.

Firefox 3.6 wasn't much difference on my home rig which runs on i7 920 with 6Gigs of ram.But it does wonder on my older computer from work. Everything become fast and I am loving it. I was using chrome at work for speed but now I can ditch chrome now. Chrome can't even read foreign lanuage fonts in unicode.
Ohh, the way firefox opens tap right next to the one from its main webpage, it was rip off from Chrome but I am loving it. Persona used to hog my machine at work but man, I am proud to say that I have been using firefox since Netscape day.
Firefox Rocks!!

Indeed no noticable differences besides a little speed improvement, and plugin update checker.
Still worth the update though.
