Mozilla has gotten this one out fast, and slightly ahead of schedule. Only 12 weeks since ff4 debuted.
Also, just like ff4, ff5’s rendering of Forums sucks.
The final version of Firefox 5 is now available for download on Mozilla's ftp server, just 12 weeks after the last re-up. The latest incarnation brings with it support for CSS animation and a more easily accessible do-not-track setting -- now available at the top of the privacy pane -- but won't see much in the way of GUI enhancements. Of course, if you want to play it safe, and avoid any last-minute tweaks, you can always hold off until version 5 gets official, but what's the fun in that? – Engadget
