Oh, ok ... I won't bother reading it anyway. It works fine, that's all i need

I am not really noticing any major differences with it.

5? But 4 hasn't even been out that long.

The biggest problem for me with the new FF (post version 4.0 which I got recently, I was using 3.1x forever) is the fact that after each download it freezes up the browser. Just got 5.0 but it doesn't seem to fix the issue really.

Does ABP and Linkification work?

Well, I have no problem with you saying that about Chrome's problems, but then you brought up Opera, which has almost the same exact problems with loading certain webpages. I use and love both browsers though, and prefer both to Firefox.

Dealing with this update, it is cerainly...Random. It didn't really change much, and I'm just not impressed with Firefox anymore (even with their nighly builds).

Following the amazing release of Firefox 4, Mozilla Firefox is moving to a rapid release development cycle to deliver new features, performance enhancements, security updates and stability improvements to users faster.

Until now, there were three channels to test new features in Firefox:

• Nightly test builds – Includes features not tested by Mozilla QA
• Firefox Beta – Broadly test the stability of new features and improvements in the next version of Firefox
• Firefox Final Release – Delivers the polished and stable features in Firefox to hundreds of millions of users

I will never use Firefox again, after all the memory issues I had a couple of months back. Loyal user of Firefox for years, but its Chrome all the way now.

just downloaded it i don't see any diffrence at all.

But why go to 5? Why not continue with 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, etc. until a major change?

Your post is dripping with irony.

Google toolbar is incompatible with FF5 right now.

Found a solution here: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/837142#answer-202409

"Thats because the old installed version of googletoolbar has a file named install.rdf that declares the max supported version of firefox to be 4.0.

To fix this ,just open the install.rdf file with notepad and change maxVersion from 4.0.* to 6.* (see the image i've also uploaded)

Now, in order to find the correct install.rdf file do the following:

Go to folder: C:Users[your user name here]AppDataRoamingMozillaFirefoxProfiles[sometext].default and search for the install.rdf file (im using windows 7)

Windows search will find many install.rdf files (one for each addon you have installed on firefox) so make sure that you find the install.rdf that has the line

Google Toolbar for Firefox

in it. For this install.rdf file just rename the max version as stated above , restart firefox..and vualla! Google toolbar is back!"

I'm still on 3. Fine with it.
