I came here to write my views because for the first time in last 6 years I chose to stop using Firefox. This latest version (3.6.6) is taking longer to load a news page and hanging my computer up. Please bring out an update.

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

Most Firefox slowdowns can be from incompatible or conflicting addons. Try disabling addons one by one or if you have lots of addons, disable them by half-batches to get done faster.
