Mozilla has released it's much awaiting browser Firefox 5.0 final version. The new web browser much faster in both speed & performance. It includes many new features like panorama tab, excellent syncing, cross platform, support flash based websites etc.
The organization states that it "includes more than 1,000 improvements and performance enhancements."
Mozilla Firefox 5.0 supports HTML5 CSS transitions, and a more visible Do Not Track choice. Mozilla has made the anti-tracking option more prominent in Firefox 5, and claims it's the first cross-platform browser to include such a feature.
It's very easy to install & use. And it supports all the major platforms like Windows XP, Vista, 7, Mac OS & Linux.
- Pros
Minimalist user interface. Panorama tab group organizes sites. Excellent standards support. Cool bookmark organization with Panorama. Pinned sites for all-the-time access. Syncing for tabs, history, passwords and more. Graphics hardware acceleration. Cross-platform.
- Cons
Still trails Chrome and IE9 on some benchmarks. Lacks client-side tracking protection like that of IE9. Lacks Chrome's built in Flash, PDF reader, and Instant search view. Trails Chrome in HTML5 support. No new-tab page helpers. Slower startup than Chrome and IE9.
- Bottom Line
Firefox remains a lean, fast, customizable browser that can hold its own against any competitor, especially with its graphics hardware acceleration. The version number bump doesn't mean what it used to though, with no major user feature adds from version 4 to 5.
