Are you a Firefox Developer? &nbsp;Are u working with the Developers if not? &nbsp;Have u looked at Bugzilla to see if this is a known issue? &nbsp;You already know you are running a Beta so I don't have to remind you that it is built and used to find bugs to make it better for the final release. &nbsp;<br />
When installing the Beta, did you use an existing Profile, or create a new one. If you didn't create a new one, that's where I would start. <br />

Web browsers are applications used primarily to display documents, files and media from the Internet, identified by a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) that can be a page, image, video or other file. Some browsers require the use of add-ons or extensions to safely render the information they receive; others have systems built into them to perform the same functions.
