Firefox automatically updated itself to version 3.6.7 even though it is not out as a stable release. The about page says it is version 3.6.7 without any mention of "beta" anywhere. What should I do? Reinstall the stable release or wait until the next automatic update?

Caveats
- This preference can only be changed by editing channel-prefs.js in the application directory.
C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\pref\channel-prefs.js pref("app.update.channel", "release");
the only problem i had with 3.6.4 was that java script problems happened, then i was updated to 3.6.6 and it all locked up, froz and crashed. Now im updated to 3.6.7 that has script problems a new plugin-container.exe3 that only seems to separate the actual firefox running and still freezes, locks up, lages so severe i have to close it, and crashes still on Adobe flash so it has gone for a problem to worse then a problem
3.6.7 When running facebook (flash) after about 10 minutes, Firefox is using 90% of the cpu. 3.6.6 was warned about some flash problems, but his is way beyond usable. IE on face book has NO problems.
Mozilla automatically updated to 3.6.4 on Windows XP, then it wanted to update again and went to 3.6.7 beta
my CPU drops down to about 4% and i have no movement on 3.6.7 = no virtual movement at all like a dead PC. I started now going back and forth between explorer and firefox tho not much difference there either
