I just found out it's time to upgrade Firefox 4 to 5.0 already. The plug-ins and add-ons haven't even been upgraded to Firefox 4 yet! That's really harming my browser experience.
And I've heard that by year's end Firefox 7 will already be out. This is ridiculous. Soon we'll be using Firefox 23...
Agree, anyone?

Hi K46620..! :)
I am using firefox 5.0 already since a few days after the beginning it released.
And recently, i have been notified that there is Firefox 6.0 already :)
Honestly, i think Mozilla really fast they have already launched the new version of Firefox.. And i am kind of person who prefer not to upgrade to a new version too fast..
And yes, that sounds a bit ridiculous to me if firefox using two digit version.. :)
Anyway, have a nice day! :)

aah, so sad to hear that..
a lot of add-ons need to upgrade often makes me confuse, i am not really understand the function though.. :)
i love using mozilla firefox rather than another browsers, but sometimes it just felt too complicated, need a regular upgrade, crash proble,s, etc.. :(

I upgraded and now I am downgrading because it sucks so bad. I don't know what is going on with this stupid thing. It messed everything up. My address bar is in the middle of some other things and I can't move it back to the top. I definitely agree that firefox is getting bad and it sucks because it is the only browser I have ever liked.

Well everything is the same except that some of my add-ons are above my address bar and I can't move them below where they were. I even tried installing different older versions, but it still won't work. I don't know why, but it's really making me upset.

I read in somewhere (don't remember where now) that Mozilla plain to release a new version of their browser each 6 months, maybe the Release of Firefox 5 confirm that, or maybe it happenned only with version 4 and 5.
I got no complains about Firefox it works great for me till today.

It's not that alarming really if you actually stop to think about it. Firefox has always been free open-source software. Which in short means it's really easy to upgrade and modify if you're a software developer. And, software developers are having lots of fun, which allows them to pop out versions at an alarming rate. So in the long-run, as long as long as Firefox continues to be easy to upgrade, the developers will continue to do so usually faster then the add-ons and plug-ins can be brought up to speed.

I don't see much difference between Firefox 4 and 5 as a typical user. I like Firefox but I have been using Chrome for a long time now. I know Firefox is more powerful than Chrome as it supports addons and there are a lot of addons available for it. But I think using addons exposes us to security risks especially if it is not from a trusted source.

the thing with mozilla is that they are not releasing minor fixes so its a good thing , the more better the updates the better for us right so keep enjoying ,
