<a href="http://getswiftfox.com/">Swiftfox</a> is a recompiled version of FF 3.6 with processor specific versions available. (I am trialing the 64bit AMD version on Mint 8 64bit)
So far no issues
EDIT:-spoke to soon, Issues with flash, even though the plugin is installed it doesn't display flash.

Guess the rest of us 'll wait a little while longer , then, before trying it!
Out of interest - which distro(s) did you try it on?

How does it compare with Chrome? I put it on Ubuntu last week and was very impressed with the speed.
Have been using it quite a bit since as have put it on W7 too. Also has plenty of addons.
Would like to give Swiftfox a go - let us know how you get on.

I have crome on my low power pc, its OK, but I have gotten used to the add-on's I have in FF. So it faces a hard time from me. Its a bit lighter on memory so better on the other pc but I cant see me switching yet.
