FYI : Firefox 3 Beta 5 is now available

[dawesi]

Seems as though the issues with ExtJS that where in Beta 4 are still evident.

Some of the improvements:

[Improved in Beta 5!] Firefox 3 Beta 5 includes more than 750 changes from the previous beta, improving stability and web compatibility, providing platform and user interface enhancements, and resulting in the fastest Firefox ever. Many of these improvements were based on community feedback from the previous beta.

[Improved in Beta 5!] Speed: improvements to our JavaScript engine as well as profile guided optimizations have resulted in continued improvements in performance. Compared to Firefox 2, web applications like Google Mail and Zoho Office run twice as fast in Firefox 3 Beta 5, and the popular SunSpider test from Apple shows improvements over previous releases.

I have done a little testing of the latest SVN code in FF3 beta 4 and didn't have any issues. Have you tested it with the latest SVN code?

In both beta 4 and 5 the headers and row data do not align very well. The data in columns are not consistent in that some are left aligned and some seem to be centered. The column model I'm using is pretty simple in that I don't define any data types, but in FF 2.x the grids look just fine.

I noticed the grid problem right away with FF 3 beta 5... It seems to manifest more with cells that have data that would normally be clipped off.

It might be a problem in the browser itself. If so, we ought to report it to the mozilla folks right away (before the final comes out.)

This demo shows the problem:

There is also a problem with the Date component in Firefox 3 Beta 5. Try clicking the calendar icon in this demo: http://extjs.com/deploy/dev/examples/form/xml-form.html.

With the current SVN code the grid alignment problem looks to be fixed for me. The Date Picker is still pretty funky though. So far that the only issue I've noticed.

The grid issue should already be fixed in SVN. The DatePicker is still completely borked though. It's on our list to fix soon.

I'm so excited about this release. They really did an excellent job with regards to improving JavaScript performance.
