I just uninstalled it from my 32-bit desktop (Windows XP).

After updating from 3.5.5 to 3.5.6, it kept crashing almost constantly. Even on simple web pages at Yahoo.

Do you have reported this to Mozilla guys with Help -> Report Broken Web Site... feature?

I believe that your environment has something special which causes the crash.

I used the built-in crash reporter to send the information to them. This was with 3.5.6 that was updated from 3.5.5, not a fresh install. I uninstalled it and installed 3.5.6 fresh, after which it did not crash, but ran rather slow on the same pages.
