a) You're a developer. It's good you test software. But TYPO3 is for end 
users, so it must run on final/stable software but may run with other beta 
software. I encourage you to use FF3 beta and report any bugs to the FF 
team, but do not waste time on changing TYPO3 for a yet to be released browser.

b) 3.8, 4.0 and 4.1 are shipped and running. There is no compelling reason 
to change them unless FF3 is shipped.
