no it is not as "bad" as ff 4.0, it's a great improvement. Mozilla announced a few months ago that they wanna release newer versions faster to concide with other developers. it just sounds mor dandy if it goes from ff 5.0 to 6.0 than 3.6.4. or 4.0.7 this year we will see ff6 & 7 too =D as for the changes http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/5.0/releasenotes/ and all the bug fixes http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/5.0/releasenotes/buglist.html | ||

Stability and ability to change add-ons without a full browser restart are the best changes though. | ||

But actually the new layout with tabs on the top and so is kinda nice. Hitting 'alt' brings the menu back, just like on IE7+. I for one, noticed zero changes. Except that I don't have my adblock/greasemonkey icons visible anymore. Meh. <edit> What is wrong with 4? I liked it... | ||

IE: random thing that need to open fast. FF5: All stuff with 30+ tabs divided in many group tabs. Chrome: + Show Spoiler [Click this only if you're 18+] + + Show Spoiler [I forgot at some places you need to be…] + + Show Spoiler [Are you really sure?] + pornnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn Safari: nice icon sitting on the dock <3 LOL | ||

The only (little) things that I don't like are the way bookmarks are shown as well as the different "work offline" menu. Otherwise, it's MUCH better than Firefox 3.x imho. | ||

Downloading firefox 5 as I type this FYI, not updating leaves your browser with known security vulnerabilities | ||

They're still missing Chrome's open last tab closed option, and a blank page with previously closed tabs. That's about the only weakness. Firefox is great for surfing with adblockplus. Chrome's addon is not on par with FF's. | ||

In short, Chrome is a load of hot air. just because the latest iteration of a previously crap browser is 0.1% faster then chrome doesn't mean i'm gonna switch. Chrome will implement hardware acceleration soon too. Besides i call bullshit about chrome using more mem then ff or ie got a source? Chrome the only browser to resist pwn2own for years. | ||
