Firefox 5 slips out earlier than schedule, gets official June 21st

Mozilla promised a faster refresh cycle for its wily web browser, following the discharge of Firefox 4 , and it’s made good on that promise. We got word this morning that the general version of Firefox 5 is now available for download on Mozilla’s ftp server, just 12 weeks after the last re-up. The newest incarnation brings with it support for CSS animation and a more easily accessible do-not-track setting — now available on the top of the privacy pane — but won’t see much within the way of GUI enhancements. Obviously, in an effort to play it safe, and avoid any last-minute tweaks, you may always hold off until version 5 gets official, but what is the fun in that? If you’ve already got your hands at the sly fox, tell us your thoughts within the comments below.

[Thanks, Haseeb]
