Firefox 3.6.2 beta released

Firefox 3.6.2 has been released to Mozilla's community of beta testers, fixing several flaws such as crashes when using Adobe's ClickMap add-on.

Other problems reported by some users, such as there being no prompt to update extensions for the browser when Firefox was upgraded, have been fixed in the new version.

However, the beta isn't aimed at all surfers, though changes will eventually be implemented in the full, stable version of Firefox 3.6.

Anyone using the beta of Firefox 3.6.2 is encouraged to report any bugs they encounter to Mozilla.

You can download the Firefox 3.6.2 beta from the Mozilla website.

Firefox 3.6 was officially launched in January . Firefox is the second-most popular browser after Microsoft's Internet Explorer, though Microsoft's dominance of the browser market is already being eroded after it was forced to offer everyone using it's operating system the chance to switch to another browser.

Opera has already reported a rise in the number of people using its browser as a consequence.
