Well I just downloaded it and here is my thoughts:
- The splash page is the exact same and all the features listed were there before.
- I has loaded codecall faster than usual
- To be blunt, I will be happy with this update if Firefox can run for 2 hours+ without crashing and taking my entire system with it.
- I would also be happy if it does happen it doesn't corrupt my 6 month old server map :(

That's my slice of cake

I quite enjoyed looking at mozilla.com and seeing that new fangled Firefox +0.5 version, I'm not sure why the jumpy release (4.0 was months ago) although with all this HTML5/JS hype it may give them some edge.

Meh. I noticed no dramatic change... Firefox has always been stable for me - except when on a Mac!

They're mostly doing an accelerated release schedule, people see it as controversial, harder to push security updates. Firefox 6/7/8 will be soon to follow with new functioning although not too much else.

Does Firefox do autoupdates yet like Chrome? Perhaps if they did, it wouldn't be so controversial. Lor, I completely agree with you. Firefox on Mac is complete rubbish.

It would be even more so if it does update automatically, each new release would reveal (or fix) issues of the previous release (that is not of great age) and introduce more, any user at a business or enterprise may be at risk without a carefully tested version and this makes it very hard.

Mozilla has raised concern on this.

I mean I find FF slows don to a crawl after a while (but not any more).
Last time this took down my server and corrupted my world files, also I got a ton of blue screens recently (probably just my lappy celebrating its 1 and a half birthday!).
