Firefox 3.5 Beta 4 went into code-freeze on Wednesday and just went through the QA build process this evening. If it passes initial testing, this release will become the official Beta 4 release. At the time of this post, Firefox 3.5 still has 68 release-blocking bugs, including one that could affect the international-language Beta 4 releases.
You can download the build here (Edit: how come we can't enter ftp:// URLs in a link?), or just wait a week or so until it is posted through the official release channels.
Check out the weekly status meetings, which give good info, here.

This just seems to go on, and on and on .... I mean 68 blockers still!?
While I agree that the wait seems to be getting longer I have total respect for the transparency of the process. How many times did MS actually come out and list blockers for IE8 before it went RC?
Release it when its ready, not "almost ready", and I'll still be a satisfied user.
