Firefox 5 available for download

By Elena Santos on 20 June, 2011

Just three months after the release of Firefox 4, the newest version of Mozilla’s flagship browser is here. Firefox 5 doesn’t change in terms of appearance when compared with the previous version – it basically features the same interface design and program menus. But don't let yourself be fooled by this apparent lack of new features. The best is yet to come!

Firefox 5 provides a better user experience thanks to improved loading times when rendering web pages, a lighter RAM memory footprint and a generally faster response to user actions. After testing it for a while, I can say Firefox 5 is noticeably faster than the previous version – which wasn’t really that hard, actually. We heard lots of complaints about Firefox 4’s slow speed right after its long-awaited release.

Besides this major improvement, Firefox 5 also features a few other under the hood enhancements: better support for HTML 5, support for CSS animations, optimized JavaScript performance and an improved spell checking utility.

If you want to take a look at Firefox 5 and try it for yourself, check out our review and download a copy right away. Then don’t forget to leave us a comment and tell us what you think!

    firfox5 is much better than the released firefox4.0 the beta edition... firefox5 has less hassle in browsing and it eliminates the the crush that do sometimes happen in firefox4... but i was looking a browser that is much faster and latest.... as the google chrome has already released their new version of chrome which google chrome 13.0..... wish the version of firefox7 the alpha version will released soon which i already tested yesterday on it's pilot test..... a little adjustments on firfox7 and another breakthrough for firefox... i think you should release the firefox7 the soonest coz that firefox7 the alpha version is more faster to open than any other firefox versions..... and also pls.... my only suggestion on that firefox7 is to make it copmpatible to the tab that i have in firefox5 when i upgrade it.... and also that the firefox7 can handle a java scripts also..... thanks
