Firefox Beta Woes

Soooo…
I love Firefox. Let me just get that out of the way.
On that note, FF3b5 has got to change. A few months ago, I switched to FF3b3. It was ok. Still several glitches making it unusable in production. Then FF3b4 came out.
*Cue angels singing*
It was great! I actually started using it in production (made possible by switching to betas of my extensions (thinking of you, Firebug)). Memory usage was down significantly. Speed was up substantially. There were a few bugs, but nothing to write home about (namely, Gmail Subject lines going to new line after email label). I’ve used FF3b4 for several weeks and sang its praises to many-a-developer..

Then came the Killer Rabbit of Caerbannog… I mean, Firefox 3 Beta 5.
