I downloaded the full installer for 12.5 b4 from the Apple servers via the link on the Mr Macintosh website.
Safari along with Edge, Brave Chrome & Firefox. Safari & Edge only opening first link clicked from an e mail, 2nd link & nothing happens. The others are not opening at all - all worked fine with he previous Beta
Your still are using the newer system FW from 12.5 b5, as a FYI. Shouldn’t be a problem with your work around for issue.
Holy crap! I had no idea this existed. thanks for the link!
I wanted to revert too for the moment due to the Applescript bug I mentioned above.
Cool, thanks, can one install 12.5 b4 over 12.5 b5... i.e. like an upgrade, or does one have to do a complete install from fresh and restore from backup etc... I would like to roll back to b4 but only if a fairly quick rollback....
Thanks in advance..

For me, disabling BetterTouchTool stopped these pop ups. As soon as I go to enable it again, those same errors come up over and over and over....
It's disheartening to see that just logging out of Messages fixed it for you.
I just ran the full installer for b4 on top of the 12.5 b5 installation, just like an upgrade (i.e. no need to do a wipe and install, or restore from back-up). The only problem I encountered was with Messages as mentioned earlier, but that was easily fixed by logging out of Messages and back in again.
Indeed, I am aware that the 12.5 b5 firmware and restore utility are still on the b5 version using this method, but reverting to b4 system software is enough to solve the issues I was having. When 12.5 is finally released, I'll run that full installer to update the firmware, if necessary.
I'm not sure if this is the same issue I'm having, but something similar just started happening to me after updating...
Open Application (such as Mail)
Click the Red Circle to "close" the app (but don't quit the app)
Normally, when I click on the app again in the dock, the app window appears again instantly. Now, when I click the app icon again, nothing happens. Even when I right-click and select "Show All Windows", I see my desktop with a message saying "No Available Windows".
I'm having the same problem! But even when I try the "Show All Windows" option, that also sometimes doesn't work and shows me my desktop and says "No Available Windows".
Using Applescript to manipulate Finder windows seems to be hosed.
Dropbox is behaving weirdly.
Apps that scrobble Music -- like Neptunes.app are not working.
Craziest beta I have seen in a while.

I'm actually glad to see the Applescript problem isn't just an issue with Terminal, that means it's a wider bug more likely to be fixed quickly.
Given that Apple put an emoji key on recent Macbooks (bottom left corner, doubles as function key) I'd say they expect MacOS users to use them frequently too.MacOS users aren't so much into emojis, thats iOS mostly.
🐈Just backed out to 12.5 b4 (i.e. reinstalled over the top of 12.5 b5) and all ok now.
There was a bunch of other odd things - e.g. applications wouldn't quit - which are ok again.
Beta 2 to 3 to 4 all had gradual improvements, but b5 was a bit of a disaster for me.

Same here. It also kinda shows that just because it's an "a" build doesn't mean it's any more stable or near final.
The most advanced piece of sh*t, er, uh, operating system in the the world.
If I have any app open and, while that is active, right click and do 'Get Info' on a desktop item, that info window opens behind everything else.
Start a TM backup and then logout...backup is immediately killed. 100,000 point basement dwellers on Apple forums say that behavior is normal...even though no prior versions of the OS work that way.
Can't do TM backups via Thunderbolt Bridge. Basically hangs. I can copy files over TB bridge, though. Upside is that backups over WiFi appear to work (unlike under Big Sur).

Windows emoji don't include country flags, unless you install a third-party typeface.
