Mozilla Firefox 3 Beta 4 was released today. The release notes claim that more than 900 enhancements over the previous version have been included in this release. So far, I haven’t noticed a real difference in my normal use. I guess that’s a good thing, really. To me, that means we’re working with a near production ready product.
Unfortunately, this version of Firefox 3 still does not fix the problem with Gmail (also known as bug 415252). That’s not a deal-breaker in a beta release, but the problem must be resolved before the product can ship.

Let’s not forget Gmail itself is beta!

@John - So true.
That being said, Google’s betas are often better that some people’s production software!

I agree there. I would love if greasemonkey would work in FX3b4. That is key for me, well that and no memory leaks/hogs.

I would like to see some of the better Greasemonkey scripts incorporated into Gmail. Isn’t that how colored labels came around?
What’s your favorite Greasemonkey script?

I don’t have any “fun” scripts really, just stuff that I use on the intranet to get work done. I have seen lots of good stuff for Gmail out there. It would be cool to see some sites take heed to what people want to see changed.
