Firefox 5?

[Connor Macleod]

Does anyone know why Mozilla released a major update so soon after releasing version 4?

Seeing as how Chrome sucks (I do admit it sucks a lot less than IE), I kind of doubt it.

Looks like it is more of a Firefox 4.1 instead of a completely new edition. It seems that the main reason for it's relatively-fast release was due to API stability issues with FF4. More below:

This is why most PC-based review sites are calling this Firefox 4.1 rather than Firefox 5...just minor visual changes; but some moderate to major changes in the under-the-hood department.

yep, comp. from Chrome. I am getting awfully fucking sick of FF -- I do use still but i prefer the brilliant Opera 11.

Anything has to be better than Firefox 4.0. I regret upgrading to that piece of shit. So far--FF "5" is better but let's just say I might be breaking up with FF and "looking around" (hi there hot Safari on Windows---nice tits baby!)

My main issue was a few of my add-on's weren't compatible, but thankfully, my MultiRow Bookmarks still worked. I would've been super-pissed if it had stopped working.

However, there was a silver lining. I had just recently started using FastDial and loved it, but it stopped working and I'm glad it did. After that, I went surfing and discovered SpeedDial. It is awesome! It is far superior to FastDial. If anyone decides to give it a try, I'd recommend using Google to find and watch the tutorial video. It's a great add-on.
