well the last beta I presume your talking about is a certain mail client. The last time we shipped a beta firefox for release I think was for firefox 3 and it was something like beta6 with the official release coming out shortly after and from my memory the beta was relatively stable and a reasonable win in terms of performance. There was some discussion about it but I don't remember anything to the tune of thunderbird. The xulrunner dependents are obviously an issue but with gnome 3 and the move to webkit it rules out the vast majority of them and I'm not even sure thunderbird uses the offset xulrunner (but its likely there are others that do need review).
