Firefox 3 beta 4 is frozen, if you are using nightly, from today you will get beta5pre. All features are pretty much set for final release of version 3. Tweak and bug fix is the main focus from now on.
PGO has landed for windows, still wait and see if it will be turned on for Linux and Mac before final release of version 3.
