In this release they removed the properties menus for images and links when you right click on them. Hope they will clear it later since it was very useful for most of the users.

• Users can now change their browser’s appearance with a single click, with built in support for Personas.
• A change to how third-party software integrates with Firefox to increase stability.
• The ability to run scripts asynchronously to speed up page load times.
• A mechanism to prevent incompatible software from crashing Firefox.
• Firefox 3.6 will alert users about out of date plugins to keep them safe.
