This week's release of the Firefox 5 browser came shockingly fast for Mozilla. Firefox 4 came out of beta barely 3 months ago--the previous numbered release, Firefox 3, was released way back in 2008.

A quick look at the features and improvements in Firefox 5 however reveals what the Mozilla foundation did to accomplish the fast release: There are some significant upgrades under the hood, but this is really more of a 4.1 release than a full new version of the browser.

However, the big news is that the release of Firefox 5 may finally solve the stability issues users have complained about since the beta builds of Firefox 4. When the Mozilla foundation released the last major overhaul of Firefox back in March, it was a huge step forward for the browser. The update brought with it a host of new features like improved tab navigation and the ability to sync bookmarks across multiple computers.

Firefox 5 was a released with a lots of bugs were fixed even the security hole in FF4 was also fixed.

But admit there is a crash in FF5 as crash reporter popup but I didn't bother as long the tabs were back.

I have been using Firefox4 since the time it was on Beta. Have not had
any issues ever since. I recommend to everybody that's using Firefox, to
upgrade now. I can not see any good reason not to do so.

For me Firefox has completely changed if anything it feels faster and lighter. It's a big change over 4.0 that's for sure.

Here are all the bugs fixed with FF 5,so yes FF 5 is more stable than FF 4 ever was and lets not forget that Mozilla announced that they've won't support version 4 and everyone should upgrade a.s.p to FF 5.
