Title: Firefox 3.6.x reaches end of life
Post by: Allan on April 25, 2012, 11:27:08 AM

Firefox 3.6.x reaches end of life.
 
  As expected, the 3.6.x branch of Mozilla's open   source Firefox web browser reached its end of life on Tuesday 24 April –   no further updates, including security updates and critical fixes, will   be made available for the series. According to recent Platform Meeting   Notes, users running Firefox 3.6.13 to 3.6.28 should have already   started receiving "Major Update" prompts asking them to upgrade to the   latest stable release of the browser. All of these users are advised to   upgrade as soon as possible.

12.0 was on my "Release Update Channel" today.  Haven't used 3.6.x in a long time.
For those that don't know:  Select "Help", then "About Firefox",  it will tell you the version you have now & will check for updates.  If any update is available it will download & then ask to "Apply Update".  Firefox will then close down, install the update & restore any sessions and/or tabs you had open.
