It was released on the 21st and yes I am running it now. So far 'Personas' and the new Tracemonkey engine is the only news I can find about the current release.

Edit: Link from the 3.6 changelog:

Changelog said:
Available in more than 70 languages - get your local version.

Support for a new type of theme called Personas, which allow users to change Firefox's appearance with a single click.

Protection from out-of-date plugins to keep users safer as they browse.

Open, native video can now be displayed full screen and supports poster frames.

Improved JavaScript performance, overall browser responsiveness, and startup time.

The ability for web developers to indicate that scripts should run asynchronously to speed up page load times.

Continued support for downloadable web fonts using the new WOFF font format.

Support for new CSS attributes such as gradients, background sizing, and pointer events.

Support for new DOM and HTML5 specifications including the Drag & Drop API and the File API, which allow for more interactive web pages.

Changes to how third-party software can integrate with Firefox in order to prevent crashes.
Feels great so far. Not as fast as Chrome though but like Chrome new tabs now open next to the active tab as opposed to the end of existing tabs.

Chrome technically is my main browser but I am liking this 'Personas' thing.. so much so that I have been on Firefox for two days now.

Chrome is my main browser, I also use IE, Firefox(updating now) and Opera. But Chrome is always open.

I think mine is updated.
I wouldn't use FF if my DL manager worked with Opera... I miss Opera...
