Firefox 5 available soon...... and it can download it !.

It turns out that Mozilla was not kidding.

Firefox 5 is already in the works and can actually already bedownloaded as a preview.

There are four development stages in Mozilla's new development process - mozilla-central, experimental, beta and final. We know that Firefox 5 has been in development already, but we only recently noticed that the browser has already been posted on the company's FTP server in nightly build form.   

The new browser carries the version number 4.2a1pre, which is apparently due to time constraints that did not allow Mozilla to change its versioning system yet. However, there has been a confirmation that this is, in fact, the foundation for Firefox 5, while we also know that there will be a 4.0.x maintenance release for Firefox 4 with minor bugfixes.

The organisation will have a steady rollout schedule for the updated Firefox browser, which will see it released as a beta on May 17 and enter the final release stage approximately five weeks later. The rapid releases signal something of a change at Mozilla and sees it launch the next version just a couple of weeks after it released the well received Firefox 4. Downloads of Firefox 4 have already topped 75 million, as displayed on Mozilla's download counter website
