Does Firefox plan any fix to the 3.6 update that hangs all use of any web page in English
After updating to 3.6 from 3.5 web page loads and downloads hang. using xp laptop core 2 duo 2.66 - 3 gigs ram. uninstalled 3.6 and reinstalled 3.5 and all is well. Do not plan to do a bunch of hunt and change to make it work. That is why I changed from IE to firefox in the first place. Is there a 3.6 update fix on the way?

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.
See:
@cor-el, Firewall cannot do this because Firefox 3.5 works. If it was to be a Firewall issue, both Firefox 3.5 and 3.6 would be useless. But that is not the case.
