Firefox 5.0 released

[Schroff87]

When is the 64 bit going official? It is much faster. Anybody know?

I think FF 7 will have the official x64 build. Maybe to time it with a possible x64 release of flash?

Memory leaks seems to be solved.

Nope, it's addressed with v6 not v7.

Is this an official release of Firefox 5.0 final?

I downloaded an it says it's Beta and find a bit buggy.

On the official Firefox webpage only 4.01 is available.

This is the RC (release candidate). Should go final (RTW) on July 21.

Memory leaks in FireFox or Chrome ?

I'm assuming in FF5.

Would I have to uninstall FF4 first before I install FF5?

They were talking about Chrome having a memory leak on the last page.
And no, FF5 will install on top of FF4 like how FF4 installed over my FF3.6.

If I knew what Month this is I would have got it right. I have CRS (can't remember shit).

Tomorrow is the big day. Can't hardly wait for the big improvements. Oh wait there are none. :roflmao:

FF5 feels pretty much the same to me. Never really had memory leaks or anything, but yay for a more new versions?

Any Differences?

I'm running it in a VM.
I can't say I've noticed any differences.

Seems to be doing a better job with memory, adding back as much as 200-300MB over previous versions.

We shall see.

I got it though FF Updates and Virus Total addon shows not-compatible but seems to work. Also any one using Norton Toolbar, Norton has issued an update to make it compatible. Use LiveUpdate in Norton and it will require a system reboot.

I have 2 addons that between them allow me to override compatibility. So far I've not had an extension or theme break when overridding compatibility.
