Firefox 5

Mozilla has updated its new rapid release cycle and is now planning to release Firefox 5 on June 21 instead of June 29. Mozilla is also adopting a versioning system that is very similar to the system that is used by Google for Chrome.
You don’t have to reinvent the wheel, if it is working perfectly – Mozilla’s new browser release schedule takes more cues from Google. It indicates that future Firefox releases will be moving in 18 week cycles from the first mozilla-central (nightly) release to a stable final release. A new browser version will be spending 6 weeks in mozilla-central and will be updated nightly. It will stay 6 weeks in the experimental phase and updated nightly as well. In both phases, Mozilla is likely to keep the “Minefield” branding for Firefox.

Tom's Hardware will probably do a Browser round up on the 20th of June.

They really need to make the browsers in the future backwards compatible in this case with the older add ons.

Yes, Like FireSheep.
I don't mind really. I think FF is sick and slick. They probably have many ideas left over from 4 that they want to introduce to 5.
IE isn't going anywhere near my machine.
