I have finally found time to build the 5th (and last) beta of Firefox 3. It should appear linked from http://www.mozilla.org/ports/os2/  soon.[*]  Note that the ReadMe linked there lists the major problems of the OS/2 version (again, that list didn't get much shorter than for beta 4).

The few OS/2 specific improvements since 3.0 beta 4:
- Finally make bookmark tooltips and popups appear in front of the    bookmarks menu (thanks go to Stefan Schmohl!).
- Some improvements to the default theme on OS/2 (by Walter Meinl).
- Reduce the download and on-disk size a little bit by packaging only necessary theme graphics and strip all binaries.
- Allow RWS to be switched off.
- In principle allow plugin content to be printed, but no OS/2 plugins seem to support this.

Please report bugs via Bugzilla. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/

Please post comments to the mozilla.dev.ports.os2 newsgroup (on news://news.mozilla.org/mozilla.dev.ports.os2 ).
