Firefox 3 Beta 4 Released

Firefox 3 Beta 4 has been released today. According to the release notes, it promises improvements to performance and memory usage.
One of the bug fixes that I noticed immediately is that the cut-n-paste quirk with the Serendipity postings is corrected, however, I am bumping into some problems with some web pages rendering improperly from time to time as well as the disappearing Bookmarks Toolbar whenever the browser crashes (it returns once you restart the browser - BugID 319196).

Update (3/20/08): Might have found another bug - looks like the Clear Caches option (under "Tools" menu option) doesn't actually clear out the browser cache (ended up having to do it manually, which then cleared up my page rendering issues ;-) ).


Note: For those interested in following the progress of Firefox 3 Beta, here is the wiki page on the builds and the status on Firefox 3 Beta 5 test day.
