    I keep getting pestered to upgrade. Has anybody else upgraded? Are there any problems? Should I wait a while?

      I upgraded (from 4.0) - everything seems to be the same.

              only problem is that i thought it was malware because... 4 came out just a couple of months ago and i couldn't believe they'd put a new major release so soon. now that i have it, i still don't know why it deserved a major revision. works fine. exactly like 4.

                  At the rate Chrome changes (i think it is 6 weeks between major rev increment), they will have to put the foot down!

                    i've heard that. it makes no sense, however. if the number is important, they could've just called it FF v4027 and dared the others to follow.

                          Yup, people tend to think that frequently upgraded application is bug free.

                            Nobody seems to have noticed, but they appear to have removed the built in Profile Manager (link[^]). It seems you need to download it separately. Not a big thing, but since I have always used at least two profiles (work & leisure) it annoyed me just enough to go back to Chrome as my primary browser for the time being :)

                              I did not face any new problems after the upgrade.

                              The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's too late to stop reading it.

                                It seems good... no issues. Some of the addon gets disabled after the upgrade, that you can enable.

                                  You should upgrade immediately! It's open source! They know better than you! Do as they say!

                                    I have upgraded it a week before. It seems good and nothing more changes.

                                        I upgraded but I have not noticed any difference from 4.0.X good or bad.

                                        Did the "Do not track" request come in this version or 4?

                                          I think that is supposed to be a 5.0 feature. However I have not seen that in action in the week or so I have used FF 5 and I do not really know what it does or why I would want this.
