Hmmm... Are they incorporating the functionality of such "Add Ons" as: No Script, Ghostery, and Better Privacy? Will we not need them ?

I use all 3:

IE for business and any question to MSN
FF for browsing and searching
Chrome for fun

I split FReeping between FF and Chrome (Chrome is still faster).

Biggest question for us military types: does 5 have a workable DoD configuration so we can use our CAC readers?

A couple of days ago, MajorGeeks showed FF5 on their website but the Mozilla website didn’t have it up.

FF4 was out just a few weeks ago.

Microsoft seems to be doing the same — Windows 8 is supposed to be released soon. Windows 7 hasn’t even settled in yet.

Are these upgrades really worth it?

I had just upgraded 5 minutes ago. Browser loads very fast.

Meanwhile, some browser fans might be crying into their beer about relatively small software releases being given major version names

That's it. Major versions need major changes in order to support the whole version increase. Some bug fixes and a couple new features is a dot release, not a whole version release.

About to install FF5. It HAS to be better than FF4 (which hangs and freezes more than Chrome, IE, and Opera combined).

Thanks to all you beta testers who installed it as soon as it came out!

I’ll take another look at it in a few months when the biggest bugs have been addressed. (I still have FF2 running on one machine and it is for the most part not inferior to any of the later iterations as far as I can tell...better in some respects even. Admittedly, there are some compatibility issues with some websites - not FR, though.)
