Mozilla has made beta 2 of Firefox 3.6 available. If you are already running beta 1, you can use Help->Check for Updates to get the latest version.

Running the release through the Sunspider JavaScript performance benchmarks shows that performance is virtually unchanged from beta 1, but according to Mozilla, this version fixes around 190 bugs so it is definitely worth downloading (although I have to say that I have been running beta 1 on both Windows and Mac machines for a week or so and have had no issues so far).

Are you running Firefox 3.6? Let us know what you think of it below.

I’ve been using 3.6b2 for two days and it seems to crash every hour or three and of course most of my addons have not been updated for 3.6 at all so I end up using both firefox and safari now.
