Still using FF 3.6.

Same here.

Works fine, both Windows and OSX. Still getting security updates.

No longer; I got the notice last week that they had ceased security updates for the 3.6 version (with 3.6.28) and that as of tomorrow (4/24) no further updates will be provided. Further in that notice they said they would give one more warning and then would automatically update to the latest Firefox (apparently whether I liked it or not!). I promptly went to my options [tools-options-advanced] and turned off the "automatically check for updates" buttons. I know I will have to update, but have too many nice addons that I use daily, including with FR, that I will lose.

IE-8? Bloatware. Chrome? Google spyware. I'll stay where I am for right now.

Bloatware? My IE9 is using 18MB right now. How much is your Firefox using?

I’m using FF9, and that’s as far as I plan to go. I have the executables for 3.6, I’m tempted to reinstall it and forget all this 9, 10, 12 garbage.
