Just three months after the release of Firefox 4, the newest version of Mozilla’s flagship browser is here. Firefox 5 doesn’t change in terms of appearance when compared with the previous version – it basically features the same interface design and program menus. But don’t let yourself be fooled by this apparent lack of new features. The best is yet to come!

Firefox 5 provides a better user experience thanks to improved loading times when rendering web pages, a lighter RAM memory footprint and a generally faster response to user actions. After testing it for a while, I can say Firefox 5 is noticeably faster than the previous version – which wasn’t really that hard, actually. We heard lots of complaints about Firefox 4’s slow speed right after its long-awaited release.

Besides this major improvement, Firefox 5 also features a few other under the hood enhancements: better support for HTML 5, support for CSS animations, optimized JavaScript performance and an improved spell checking utility.

If you want to take a look at Firefox 5 and try it for yourself, check out our review and download a copy right away. Then don’t forget to leave us a comment and tell us what you think!
