beta4 did not fix it for me either... for now I'm reverting back to using Firefox 8.0b6 ( ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/8.0b6/linux-i686/en-US/ )
I unzipped it into /opt/ and ran it directly from there. You can run two versions of firefox concurrently by: set up a new profile ( lets call it f8Profile ) using firefox - Profilemanager firefox -P default to start your existing firefox with default profile /opt/firefox/firefox-bin -no-remote -P f8Profile to run the firefox you unzipped into /opt/ the -no-remote tells it to start a separate instance instead of just opening a tab/window in the existing firefox. Now I'll just get back to work and upgrade normally when the fix comes down the pipe. I'm disappointed ( in myself? the community?) that it took so long for me to come across discussions of this issue given the number of people affected. I'm sure glad I didn't screw up my firefox environment in the meantime.
