Addons rarely actually 'break' its usually just the version number that needs changing. Disable addon compatibility checking and never worry about it again :)

Mozilla Firefox 5.0 - Final

Blazing Performance:

? Making the Web Faster. Fasten your seat belts! With faster start-up times, rapid graphics rendering and improved page load speed, Firefox 4 is full of major performance enhancements you?ll notice instantly. Upgrades to DOM and Style Resolution performance mean pages load faster, scrolling up and down is smoother, and web applications can run at breakneck speed. It?s an entirely new ? and fast ? browsing experience.

? Web Application Speed. Web applications like mail, video or games keep getting more awesome, but they also require additional processing power to run smoothly. To meet these increasingly sophisticated demands, Firefox 4 features a massively improved javascript engine called J?gerMonkey. As a result, Firefox 4 handles even the most dynamic applications smoothly and easily, allowing you to enjoy the very best the modern Web has to offer.

? Hardware Acceleration. Whether you?re using Windows 7, Vista, XP or Mac OS X with Firefox 4, you?ll also enjoy hardware acceleration for many common operations, such as watching videos or playing games. Firefox 4 uses a new layers-based graphics system that takes advantage of Direct2D and Direct3D on Windows and OpenGL on Mac to deliver amazing performance even on graphics-heavy sites.

Weren't these boasting spec suppose to be about Firefox 5? Why keep on boasting about the previous build? Well, I am in awe about Firefox 4. I am sold!

More like: and never get extension updates again.

That jumping aero border glitch fixed in 5.0?

No, but I've found that if you make the nav-bar transparent somehow (apply a theme, CSS, or disable tabs-on-top), the problem goes away.

whoa 5.0 already?

I only just got 4.0 the way I wanted it!

you should be fine updating then

most of the changes were just back end performance improvements, so nothing really "visually" different

Right now 64bit really isn't any faster than the 32 bit builds. I don't see the point in trying to get all of your plugins updated to 64 bit versions to get a 64 bit browser right now.

let's see... java 64bit is available, there's a flash 10.2 build available (maybe newer), and I think silverlight is ready as well?

Current FF5 stats:

post-361542-0-37465200-1308428513.jpg

25 tabs loaded. duration--->7 hours

150 browser actions... watched 15 youtube HTML5 vids

went to google maps streetview a lot and other more intense sites.

150-225MB lower usage then 4.0..... for now....

the memory leak problem since 4.x is still in 5.0, i load 30 tabs and its around 550mb and leave the pc for several hours and its up to 1.7gb of ram used. Hope this is fixed in firefox 6.

you shouldn't have a leak like that

i'm guessing it's either one of your extensions or something is wrong with your profile that's causing it

meh the realplayer downloader still doesn't work with this. I might try re-installing it....

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.
