    I have a few add ons and Google toolbar buttons and stuff and last time I did a Firefox beta, none of that stuff worked. Are all your extra add ons still intact? And can you keep your original Firefox 3.0.5 as well as the beta browser or does the beta override the original?

    Most of my add-ons work on b2, except Exif reader and the theme that I use.

    It does not override 3.0.4 or .5. You can still use the older version with no problem--I am,

    I never had 3.0.4 crash on me. In fact, I can't remember the last time any final version of FF3 crashed on me. However, this evening I was video chatting on gmail and had 1 or 2 other tabs open and Firefox 3.0.5 crashed on me.

    Yep 3.0.5 way better.. I did notice some issues with 3.0.4 with memory issues and some locking up. This one seems to be zooming. I agree with the above poster that 3.04 was bad news. Definitely want to grab this update.
