It's just firefox 4 with a few updates.

Seems like maybe a 1,000 svn increase or something at most.

 

Yeah, pretty much. It should have maybe been 4.1 at the most. On a side note, the built-in updater keeps failing for me. I guess I'll go manually install it.

Disable peerblock.

 

the built in updater stops dl'ing the update at 2.3MB, had to restart it a few times to make it work

 

It downloaded the update, but failed after closing FF4 and attempting to install. I've already manually installed 5 though. I'll try disabling PeerBlock whenever it needs to update next.

That was the issue with mine, the download source is blacklisted.
I enabled http and manually installed.

Blame the people who say Chrome is better because it updates more.

 

Firebug doesn't support it, so i'll stick to 4.0.1 for now.

 

Seems more responsive, I also haven't encountered any of the UI glitches I was having in the last version.

 

Had that for a few days. Literally no gamechanger, except a few big addons are not updated for FF5, including google's toolbar.

Lower latency in connections ('Idle connection tuning').
Chrome will too be getting the same type of update, to improve its performance even more and leave Firefox even further behind.

Face it, FF is dying.

 

THey did say they wanted to get out firefox 7 was it? quickly after all and the only way they can do that is if they change the version numbers quickly like they are starting to do.

 

Wrong, they updated their plans.
Mozilla wants to cram one more update this year. Firefox 8 will be released before christmas.
Better believe this BS.

Firefox 5 for desktop and Android released, Firefox 8 before Christmas | ExtremeTech

Oh yeah, I'm aware of it . I had a lengthy rant about that at work yesterday.

 

microsoft usually sends a large pie...

 

How excessively generous. A minuscule dry cookie is all FF 5 deserves though.

 

I updated to 5.

Is there a difference? I don't see a single damn one. This should be 4.0.1.

 

lol considering i'm still on 3.

you mean 4.0.2, 4.0.1 was released IIRC last month

Yeah, seriously, I just updated to 3.x (not 3.5.x, not 3.6.x, but 3.0.x) from 2.x, so what's all of this talk about 5?

Okay, that's only on my really old PC. The Pentium III has a heart attack with Firefox 4.x as it is (not sure the 384MB RAM is helping either). I wanted to stick to 2.x, but the older versions of Adblock Plus don't work (which itself is essential to smoother browsing), and the oldest that does work doesn't work with Firefox 2, so I had to update.

When I'm back on my other PC, I'll update it. It's on 4.0.1 if I remember right.

 

3.5.6 here

 

Opera should get you sailing smooth (edit ram/disk cache values), else Midori should (forget K-Meleon, way too outdated).

 

In my Acer nettop, i still use 3.6.x
I don't dare to install FF4 on it, even when it has 3GB.

 

Could also be the weak gpu thats causing issues as well since firefox uses it for accelerating itself.

 

Too bad FF 5 doesn't support Fast Dial the latest version.

FF is dying - Google Chrome's time!

Honestly, that's a bit silly.

Firefox 4+ is better in just about every way. Including memory management.
