Firefox 5 is available in Mozilla's servers

Since it changed the course of development of Firefox, Mozilla promised that besides delivering Firefox 4 in 2011, following its three major versions would go well this year. At least according to the map company's development. And last week showed that it is fulfilling its promise after 5 Firefox available on your FTP server.

This time there are many cosmetic changes, Firefox has been further improved with regard to their operation and interpretation of pages. It now supports CSS Animations via menu and has a less complicated configuration to access the lists do-not-track, among stability improvements and bug fixes found in this version 7 betas. Officially, Mozilla said it will be released worldwide tomorrow.

One difference that may frustrate some users, however, is incompatible extensions. The currently running fourth in Firefox may stop working in Firefox 5 if its developers have not yet made the necessary adjustments.

So there it is. Mozilla promised and fulfilled 1 / 3 of the promise so far. The question is whether Firefox 6 7 and Firefox will also arrive this year or whether the same syndrome that has infected the late Firefox 4 will infect the development of these versions. Personally, I doubt that will happen, since the Mozilla seems to have picked up the pace very fast. But I doubt we'll see major differences between versions.
