That means Firefox 3.7, which was slated for a second quarter release, has been dropped from the development schedule, said Beltzner. The next version of the open-source browser after the almost-ready Firefox 3.6 will be an as-yet-unnamed update at the end of this year or in early 2011.

I've been having a lot of problems with Firefox since they started releasing the 3 series. It always freezes up my whole computer when I use it. I don't use it much anymore.

Same here. I used to like using Firefox. But too many glitches lately.
