Spare	Firefox 5 is out, that’s quick Linkage

JL235	I don't think it's properly out yet, I heard it was comming out in 1 or 2 days time. That's why it's only on the ftp server, and not on the proper FF download page.

steve_ancell	I think I will wait for the official release, but thanks for the heads-up Spare.

JL235	I've upgraded. Seems a tad faster, not as fast as the beta I was trying a week ago, but otherwise it seems exactly the same. \|edit\| Actually it's so similar, I'd suspect this release is bogus. There are no new UI features, and again speed difference is possibly so minor it's just a placebo effect. \|edit\|

dna	What OS are you running JL235?
Sun, 19 Jun 2011, 15:53
JL235	Windows. I'm not saying the release is fake, I just don't reackon this is the final release build. I just get the strong impression everything new must be turned off by default, or it's an amazingly trivial update.

dna	What version of windows? XP or 7?
Mon, 20 Jun 2011, 02:43
JL235	Windows 7.

HoboBen	Ugh, yeah, Firefox 5 update notice popped up today... what happened to sensible version increases, e.g. where's Firefox 4.1? -=-=- blog \| work \| code \| more code

JL235	I don't have page_speed anymore (unsupported), and it crashes more often. So far that's all I've noticed.

HoboBen	Apparently we can expect Firefox 6 & 7 this year. I hate this. I have to update a number in /etc/apt/sources.list on Debian every time they bump the version (first world problems!). -=-=- blog \| work \| code \| more code

dna	I will try and not move to 5. I reading that others are having problems on windows 7. I never asked for 7 but it came with machine. I still run windows XP for the rest of my equipment. -=-=- DNA

rockford	I've updated and kinda wish I hadn't bothered. It's exactly the same but now the Google toolbar doesn't work on it
