Carol Haynes:
Hooray - an even better reason to use Firefox - I am sick to death of installing Google's f&&&&&g toolbar or avoiding its installation. Why would anyone want to use that? The only thing it does is track your browsing habits and collect marketing data.
What would be a really useful feature in FF would be the ability to block the installation of named extensions including:
Yahoo Toolbar
Ask toolbar
MS .NET extension
amongst many others ...

Firefox 6.0 Beta 2 was ready looong ago...
most of the time, we’ll release a new Firefox every 6 weeks

I spent most of yesterday moving to FF 5.1. Made sure all the functionality was there, got replacements for the addons that didn't work, got the layout pixel perfect, tweaked the major new about:config settings. And what a letdown! The thing is a step back from 3.6 in speed and resource consumption. The UI feels more sluggish, browsing speeds seem to have taken a hit too. Had to fkn roll back to 3.6!! :mad: :mad: :mad:

@nosh - Interesting. I'm rocking V5.0 under Linux Mint 11 (using kernal 2.6.38-8-generic and Gnome 2.32.1 ) on an old 2.0Ghz Core2 Duo laptop with 1Gb RAM - and it screams!
What version of Windows are you running it on?
I was just about to start loading FF5 on all my Windows machines.
