You are my hero! It is a very radical method but it worked

Same here. The fans really seem to crank up on my MacBook Pro when the screensaver turns on :/
I’m kind of shocked they opened this up to public betas in the first place. Worst macOS betas since Copeland.
So true most likely the reason we have had to iOS 13 beta's since the last Catalina Beta the dev are stumped how to fix this mess
Same. If you turn off preview (View / Hide Preview) then it works. Basically Finder crashes trying to preview a file with a .html extension. I've logged a Feedback but as usual Apple have marked it as "open", "no similar reports". Please log one. At the moment, it seems they can't be bothered to consolidate feedback requests so yours will no doubt stay as the same status, but you never know.
As for Firefox ... yeah, I logged that Bugzilla report and have been waiting patiently (that's a lie, I swear at Safari daily) for the next beta to drop so I can go back to Firefox.
I can say with confidence that the issue is not limited to HTML extension. I have had crashes with SVG as well.
It's been two weeks since beta 5 came out. If it comes out next week, it would be a three week gap, which is fairly common in the beta cycles.
I can't stop Spotlight searching in and finding files in iCloud Drive.
I use it as a backup for certain important files, but Spotlight keeps listing them first despite the fact they're typically older than the ones on my local SSD. It worked (putting iCloud Drive in the privacy tab) in Mojave but not any more. Feedback logged.

Can confirm that Finder crashes whenever it tries previewing an SVG with QuickLook or preview pane.
Yes lets hope today's Beta fixes it.
I can't select a new Time Machine Disk because of this bug.
And NO the System Preferences Bug is still not fixed in the new Beta.

Apparently their attention was diverted to a new icon for notifications in the system preferences.
I still can't quit Messenger (iMessages) if I try to do so only a few seconds after using it. Have to Force Quit. Same as previous beta. I'll update my Feedback thing.
Same with Spotlight always finding files in the iCloud Drive Documents folder, despite me adding iCloud (and the parent directory CloudStorage) to the privacy list. Feedback updated.
Edit: Deleting ~/Library/Preferences/*ichat* (9 files) seems to have fixed my iMessage hanging on quit. Weirdly, I didn't lose any settings either.

I'm happy to note that during the two hours I've been using the latest beta, this is a big improvement. The previous betas rendered my test laptop, a rMB 12" almost unusable with constant beach balls that sometimes led to a complete stall, couldn't even log out or restart, even though the mouse was still moving. It was miserable.
But this time, after the first 30 minutes of housekeeping, it's been very fast. Everything loads instantly, and scrolling/zooming is smooth again. No more beach balls with Safari or Finder. I can approve many password prompts (not all, and it may remain that way) with my Apple Watch. Activity Monitor no longer shows rogue system processes stealing all CPU time.
Liking it so far, now there's light at the end of this rather dark beta period.

What is the System Preferences Bug?And NO the System Preferences Bug is still not fixed in the new Beta.
Previewing html and svg files in Finder crash has been fixed in beta 6.
This has to be the worst beta so far!
iMessage hangs, Xcode beta 6 hangs on startup need I say more?

Hello,
How is PDF rendering in Preview?
Does it still exhibit the issue with text and graphics being irritatingly blurry?
I really hope that they fix this, as opening/viewing PDFs is one of the most enjoyable things about macOS.
For the time being, I have reverted back to Acrobat Reader. Bummer!
Strangely enough, PDF files when viewed in Quick look, are rendered correctly.
Thanks,
Stavros
