I'm not a developer, yet a public beta showed up. Not sure what version as I haven't decided if I'll install it.
Anyone test to see if they fixed the crashing of Firefox in this update as the cause of the crashes in beta 5 was an apple bug.
Ugh, so no public beta update as of yet. Thanks. May be prudent to be a little clearer next time.
if you want to do clean install there is a new Full installer out. Just downloaded.
As somebody suggested here, I uninstalled the Profile from my MBP 13" 2017 and then reinstalled the profile. Well it worked and came in at a whopping 6.8 GB 
On my main machine installed the developer beta utility and it then downloaded the installer.Once downloaded it reregistered the Mac so it didn't install. I think it only works on machines not already on Catalina.

My iMac 2013 21" took about 20 mins after downloaded although at on point it quoted 30 Mins
Beta 5 allowed that.
[doublepost=1566238516][/doublepost]Looking forward to Thunderbird working again.
Seems like only the newer MacBooks are affected by the absurdly long install times. My 2012 MBP installs the betas just fine and I’ve never had an install go over 5 hours.
just installed Firefox and can confirm that this is now working.
As I know, only the 2015 MBP is affected by installation issues.
The todays update took something like 15-20min on my 2017 MBP.
first of all, an install of 5 hours is crazy - before b4, i've never EVER had an install take more than 90 mins, and those are typically on much older and slower Macs. I now have a 2016 MBP with Touch Bar (first gen of those) and up until b4, never had an OS take more than 45 mins to install, even the big ones.
nope, 2016 MBP, and took me 40 hours on b4, and "only" 30 hours on b5. the first 3 betas never took more than 20-30 mins.
Me neither. I think the main thing I want fixed is videos on iCloud. I want the Finder able to stream videos from the cloud to your desktop and not have to wait for a download. At the moment, you can only do that in iCloud.com, where http streaming works. In the finder, though I can download to play in iOS, in my present public beta, the Finder won't even download them, and iCloud.com is the only thing that works.
not touching it until I hear from others who had the same problem, lol! I waited a few days before doing b5 once people started chiming in that it was still a problem, so I could do it over a weekend at least...
