    Anyone have a good guess as to when either Beta 5 or RC1 (Not sure which is next up) will be released?

    Ok, just upgraded to Beta 5.

    So far, it seems even a little faster than Beta 4.
    The annoying black bars in the text input boxes on message boards like this and TBBS are gone, but I still get crashes when I try to view certain Yahoo! Sports pages.

    The spell checker still doesn't like contractions like "doesn't".

    I'm not sure I'm even going to bother at this point. I've had so many challenges recently with Firefox at this point I'm sort of enjoying Safari.

    Do you folks beta testing the new Firefox see significant improvements?

    The big thing I'm noticing with Safari is how quickly it loads.
