A beta release of Firefox 3.6.4 was announced today (Tue 20 Apr).
What's interesting is they advertise that crashes in Flash, QuickTime,

Hello, world!
Replies directly to me (off-list), please.
We suddenly need a computer-based fax solution at $WORK. I'm pretty
sure Hylafax will meet our needs. We even have a Linux server it
could be run on. I'm sure I could figure it out myself, but I already
