Mozilla launched Firefox 4 earlier this year to much fanfare, but it seems that Firefox 5 is almost ready to go.
Following the launch of 4, Mozilla confirmed it was moving towards the Google Chrome model of development, where updated versions are released every few months, following time in developer and beta channels.
Each upgrade is not a complete re-haul of the former version, but rather tweaked versions with added features, sometimes major. Google Chrome is now in version 12 despite being launched years after Firefox.
The Firefox 5 RC has performance and speed boosts, as well as improved support for "future-web" tech like HTML5 and JavaScript rendering.
