Detect Firefox < 3.6

Question

I tried to find any good solution to detect firefox versions < 3.6 in order to deliver a notice to them that my website works much better in newer browsers (at least 3.6). I stubled across http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.browser/ - but found no example how to detect all Versions lower than 3.6. Any advice?

Thank you!
