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.

They're trying to catch up with IE and Chrome.

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.

To us programmers this may be the case, but when it comes to mere users they will probably fall for the marketing crap.
See if you can crack this: b749f6c269a746243debc6488046e33f
So far, no one seems to have cracked this!The unofficial awesome history of Code Project's Bob! "People demand freedom of speech to make up for the freedom of thought which they avoid."

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

Yup, people tend to think that frequently upgraded application is bug free.
You can flame me whichever way you want and I wouldn't care a bit. But if you group me with some idiots, I'll turn into your worst nightmare.

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 :)

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 wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

I have upgraded it a week before. It seems good and nothing more changes.
Regards, Koushik. Most people never run far enough on their first wind to find out if they've got a second. Give your dreams all you've got and you'll be amazed at the energy that comes out of you.

No problems here.

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.

It's a manual setting so yours might not be switched on.

If that was not on by default I did not turn it on.. Edit: The tracking feature in the privacy options is off.

Shifting directly from 1st gear to 6th isn't generally recommended...
