Runs like a dream and has "Do Not Track" built into the browser. Seems a bit faster too.

I usually use Google Chrome, but I might check it out. I still have Firefox 4 installed on my PC.

Nope. I rarely use 4 so I don't think I will worry too much about using 5.

Click on the orange firefox button in the upper left corner of your browser, click on help, then "about firefox". It will then search for the update.

The new look and features? It looks exactly like Firefox 4. There are no apparent new features either.

Strange. All of my extensions work and the differences between each Firefox version will be small from now on so extensions shouldn't cease to work.

There are no major differences and updating really isn't that difficult.

Firefox 5 is a full release and not a beta.

Had to ditch FF a few weeks ago because the entire program kept freezing while it loaded the contents of a page. Couldn't even scroll through other tabs. Was hoping 5 would resolve this issue, but no dice.

I've been using firefox 5, but then I noticed that it doesn't play video's well. I tried google chrome and it works way better. Maybe it's just my computer?

That is because Mozilla has chosen to take a Google approach to version numbering for browsers, meaning far more frequent updates with less significant changes. The UI won't be reinvented every time. Look at Chrome, for instance. It has barely changed since its release.
