WebKit-based browsers are about to pass Firefox which has been losing market share since December 2010 – and they absolutely dominate in mobile. But if you still rely on Firefox over Apple’s Safari or Google’s Chrome for your everyday browsing (and a lot of people in Europe do), Mozilla has you covered with a major new release of its browser.
Among the changes, Firefox 5 sports speed gains across the board, an improved do-not-tracking switch available from the top of the privacy pane, support for CSS animation, improved standards support for canvas, HTML5, XHR and MathML markup languages and more. The Firefox 5 page will be updated later today with release notes and features, but download links are already live so you can get downloading (Mac OS X, Windows, Linux).
