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.
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.

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.

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.

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

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

I also noticed nothing new but had no problems. You should still upgrade. I also looked up what has changed: Added support for CSS animations The Do-Not-Track header preference has been moved to increase discoverability Tuned HTTP idle connection logic for increased performance Improved canvas, JavaScript, memory, and networking performance Improved standards support for HTML5, XHR, MathML, SMIL, and canvas Improved spell checking for some locales Improved desktop environment integration for Linux users WebGL content can no longer load cross-domain textures Background tabs have setTimeout and setInterval clamped to 1000ms to improve performance Fixed several stability issues Fixed several security issues http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/5.0/releasenotes/[^]

I had one issue after I upgraded to FF5 from FF4 on my Mac: Slingbox client balked until I restarted FF in 32-bit mode. I went through this on Safari when it went 64-bit in Snow Leopard, so I'm used to the issue. Never run Chrome, can't say what happens there.

The upgrade broke the Pentadactyl extension. Updating to Pentadactyl's nightly build made most things work, but a few things are still broken. E.g., on Facebook the text fields do not scroll properly and you have to escape the Enter key with ^V. Another user reported the same symptoms on IRCCloud.

Yes I upgraded. I like it. I am just a little :( About IE 9...This Browser war is making me "pull me hair out" wait I don't have any... :-D ... I personally am starting to tend to Google Chrome...But unfornately, developers must be flexible?LOL!

That's because you haven't got the latest version. Firefox 5.0 was out just 6 weeks after version 4.0 So it looks like you will have to upgrade it every 6 weeks now or uninstall it. Firefox 3.5 would let you know if a page has any RSS feeds in the address bar. After upgrading it has lost this feature. Guess my idea of upgrading is not the same as Firefoxis! As they are up to version 5.0 and they now upgrade every week equals: 5 x 6 weeks = 30 weeks ago from the first version. :o)
