Download Mozilla Firefox 5.0 final

Mozilla has released version 5.0 of its web browser Firefox. Version 5.0 does not make the same big leap forward that version 4.0 has made over 3.6. That is also not possible, because the development time is much shorter. For example, we see support for css animations, performance improvements and of course there are the necessary bug fixes and security updates. Below is an overview of the main improvements made in version 5.0.
