Odd. One could try and figure out what is broke (or what you broke) in
the start-up script to get different versions - but I suspect life is
sweeter if you just use safe mode to disable any likely suspect plugins
for running in 3.6.3, and then try running the new version without safe
mode and if need be re-enabling plug-in to find out which one breaks stuff.

At the risk of confessing to a piece of non-free software, I might be
tempted to try 3.6.4, till then Debian Iceweasel is serving me fine.
