I've been using the latest 4.0 beta releases as my default Firefox browser since 4.0b1.  The browser has worked well until 4.0b7.

1.  When I launched the browser, the initial page display was totally blank.

2.  Hiding Firefox and then reactivating it displayed the What's New page.

3.  At this point, nothing appeared to work.  However, another hide and reveal showed the new page.

4.  When a page is displayed, vertical scrolling changes only the upper right quarter of the page.

Firefox 4.0b7 is effectively dead for me.  I'm going to restore 4.0b6 from Time Machine.

I'm running Firefox on 10.6.4.

I'm submitting this using Firefox 3.6.12.

This problem, which was solid for 4.0b7, disappeared in a subsequent release of 4.0.

From my standpoint, this problem is resolved.
