Title: Firefox 5.0

Yep!  The most recent update I got from Mozillia showed that Firefox is now at 5.0.

Feels a little too soon if you ask me.

I hear you on that. It's like I just downloaded 4.0 or 4.5 like a month ago. But now we're at Fire Fox 5.0. And I like it a bit. The new features are cool and all. I like how you can download a MP3 when the button lights up. Nice feature to have. I give it like a 8/10.

I'll likely keep using Chrome, but I'll try firefox 5 now and then to see what it's like.

I tried Firefox on my old Acer laptop, but it eventually ended up getting a virus, so I had to uninstall Firefox from it.


Since then, I mainly use Google Chrome and sometimes IE on both of my computers instead.


tbh, idk if I even want to give Firefox another try or not.

I like Fire Fox. I use it once in a while.

Hm, I don't see ANY differences between Firefox 4 and Firefox 5. o.O It looks just the same!

After I applied the update, the damn home button moved to the right side again and I had to move it once again. :bang Other than that, I see no visual differences.  I was hoping they'd bring back a decent look and button arrangement.  Oh well.  With enough settings changes it looks almost like FF3.

I have noted a couple of differences.

For one, it seems to be a little faster than 4.  Not much to the point where it's that noticeable, though.

The other, I'm not sure if it's new, but you can do a little something called "pin app" now.  To learn more about it, go to the following link.

I've been trying this new feature with a few sites I visit often, and while it has it's ups and downs, depending on the site, I'm actually liking this new feature a lot.  There are some sites that I wouldn't recommend using it on, (one being deviantART) but for the most part, it's really nice.

So yeah, not much of a difference, but there is at least one big one. :)

Yeah it all looks the same also. It I think 4.0 had the same features but 5.0 has a bit better graphics.

I'm still using FF 3.6 since Mozilla keeps on making updates for it. And i have no intention to upgrade whatsoever.

I just checked and yeah, it is too soon.  They finished the complete version of 4.0 nearly 3 months ago, which was in development for quite a few months before it came out.

I wonder if they even completely tested this new version before bringing it to the masses like this.  Sure, loving the new app feature, but still, did they fully test this thing?
