After three months of development and a release candidate version that's been available over the weekend that everyone pinned as the final build, Firefox 5 Final is finally officially launched. The latest version of the popular web browser is the fastest iteration yet, though it's the first of many since Mozilla wants a new major version launched every six weeks.
While Firefox 5 is an important milestone, the first in the rapid release cycle, the first to get automatic add-on compatibility and so on, for the regular user, it's not much of an update.
Under the old version scheme, it would have been labeled as Firefox 4, but this will be the standard moving forward, small updates and few features coming every few weeks.

When it comes down to user privacy protection, IE9 is superior to all rivals including the latest iteration of Firefox, and especially Chrome.
This simply because IE9 puts users in control over who can track their online activity. It does this through supporting the Do Not Track User Preference, as a DOM property and an HTTP header, as well as offering the Tracking Protection feature.

Mozilla has published a name and shame list of the Firefox's slowest add-ons.
The list is just one part of Mozilla's new efforts to highlight slow add-ons, and to help developers make their add-ons more efficient.
Over the next two weeks, 'slow performance warnings' will be introduced in the add-on gallery so that users can see, before installation, which add-ons will slow down their browser. If that isn't enough to spur developers into cleaning up their add-ons, Mozilla has also begun reaching out to developers of slow add-ons with tips on how to improve add-on performance. Finally, add-on developers will soon have the ability to perform 'on-demand performance testing,' so that they can test their add-on before it's deployed publicly.

Not only we had the final version of internet Explorer 9 a few days ago, but Firefox has also released its final version, Opera has done the same with the beta of Barracuda and Google has continued with Chrome developments with things like voice recognition.
Speech recognition is not as Android or Opera: Chrome is not controlled by voice, but allows complete text fields to web pages through the microphone dictating.
For now it is the first implementation of the HTML5 specification, so surely the other browsers will include it with time.
