I see this as well, using Beta 2 on both Mac OS 10.4.11 and Mac OS 10.5.1.  The keyboard shortcuts don't work either (Cmd-C, Cmd-V, etc.).  This doesn't come up all that often for me, but it's pretty irritating when it does; I'm not sure if that qualifies it as blocking Firefox 3, but it's certainly an embarrassing regression as far as polish goes.  (I /think/ the regression keyword is appropriate here.)

The more I think about it, the more I'd really like to have someone driving the project make the call on whether this is a blocking issue.  I'll set the flag.

A regression window would help.

Yikes.  The regression occurred between 2006-09-28-08 and 2006-09-29-06, and the obvious hulking target for the blame is bug 326469, "make Cocoa widgets default for all products on trunk".  That sounds like a frighteningly large set of changes to hunt through to me, but perhaps the folks involved with that transition know the code well enough to find the bug easily.  I'm adding Josh Aas to the CC list here on the assumption that Cocoa widgets are the issue.
