Since Firefox 5.0 Final should inherit all the tweaks and enhancements listed by Mozilla for the latest beta, we give you the official changelog: WebGL, spelling checks and overall network and memory use are also improved. The updated web browser exhibits visibly better performance for background tabs and integration with Linux. Mozilla, however, has been so eager to get the final bits into the hands of customers worldwide that they uploaded the binary to their servers days early.
The new Firefox, available for Mac, Windows and Linux users alike, is set to debut tomorrow, June 21, 2011. Mozilla has quietly released the final version of Firefox 5.0 ahead of schedule with support for CSS transitions, enhanced compatibility with HTML5 and its Canvas mode, a Do Not Track option, and more.
