Firefox 5 Ready To Launch: Why It Matters
The final build of Firefox 5 has been available for a few days from the Mozilla HTTP server and it appears that the company has successfully transitioned to a rapid release process. However, Mozilla will face headwind and criticism that Firefox 5 does not offer anything new over Firefox 4. Such claims aren’t exactly accurate: Firefox matters more than it has ever before, but Mozilla needs to realize that it has problems communicating what Firefox really is.
Firefox 5 isn’t expected to officially launch until Tuesday, but if you replace the current version number in the Firefox download URL with version 5.0, you can get the final build of the browser now. Mozilla will always argue that there still may be changes until the software is officially announced, but it is an open secret that the browser has been ready for awhile and that this will be, in fact, Firefox 5.
