-
Faster and more responsive than previous version.

Made some changes to how third party software integrates with Firefox in order to prevent crashes.
-
This beta is available in more than 70 languages.
-
Improved JavaScript performance, overall browser responsiveness and startup time.

Coming to the Firefox 3.6 RC part, will Mozilla be able to release it in time?

As we informed you previously, the chances of this taking place are pretty slim, find out why here.
