Yes, both 5 and 6! Firefox 5 has been moved into the aurora release channel, the second of a total of four release stages. Firefox 6 alpha 1 has been moved to mozilla-central and is available for download.

Hipster: I liked FF more when it wasn't trying to get attention through updates and version numbers.

 

[srsdude]

wow i liked when a new version actually meant something

if they just change the numbers every month it will be pointless

Got FF5 now just to peek at it. Using it now... not a single difference over FF4,

So far I'm really impressed with FF4, wounder how 5 & 6 is going to be like.

Yep, I'm on 6 now too (Nightly).

There is absolutely zero noticeable difference between FF4 Prod, FF5 Aurora and FF6 Nightly right now. Oh well, I'll hold on to all 3 and do my part when it comes time to actually testing features and finding bugs.

Sigh... I liked them better before this too. This is Google Chrome's fault.

 

[srsparky32]

e.e why is mozilla doing this? i remember when they first started out and each new number meant a drastic increase in performance. i guess after time that just ends since they run out of things to do

Pretty much.

I think a monthly or bimonthly release would be ideal, having one main project (focusing on security and performance without major rehauls), one beta project (Focusing on performance and rehauls), and one 'legacy' project (to patch security holes found in older projects).

Google seems to release a new version every single day, but they have a lot more resources they can put into a browser. I'm pretty sure following after Google isn't the best way to go for Firefox, but who knows, I've been wrong before.

I moved to google chrome,I liked FF4 but sometimes it was kinda slow and has a bug with closing it.

 

[eshold]

Opera for LIFE!

 

[georgep001]

Ive tried firefox google chrome and i still love opera the most especially there 11.10 speeddial is a nice feature.

 

[Reflux]

Meh you can bash FireFox all you want.

I'm still going to use the latest version, provided all of my addons have support for it.

Nah, it's simply that it's what Google Chrome does, and they lost some users to Chrome, which they are trying to get back, somehow.

It's pointless, and I don't like it.

Just my

Yeah, people should just choose the browser that best supports their browsing needs. and I hate chrome's favorite management system, but I still use it on a virtual machine, just so I can play around with it.

They are moving the numbers up to catch up with Chrome and IE. It makes sense. Dumb people out there think the higher numbers are better, and pick another browser over Firefox, so this is their solution.
