On the 1st August yes, but 3.6 support will go when the version after
4.0 comes out (at least as I read
  http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2011/06/our-plans-to-support-modern-browsers.html
).

http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/channel/ suggests that a beta
of 5.0 is available at
http://www.mozilla.com/products/download.html?product=firefox-5.0b3&os=linux&lang=en-US
and an innovation preview called 6.0a2 at
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-mozilla-aurora/firefox-6.0a2.en-US.linux-i686.tar.bz2
suggests that they have started work on version 6.

This suggests to me that it is time to explore Firefox 4.
