Been running this patch since last night on my netbook; no issues yet. I updated to the March 22nd snapshot over the weekend. I had previously been running FF3.6.x w/amd64 snapshots but decided to switch to FF11 (and to i386) this time around. FF11 was dog-slow, at least on my netbook. This patch makes FF11 more tolerable.
