Firefox 6.0 Officially Released: Download Links Inside
Add a full version number to your Firefox.
It seems like only yesterday we were updating to Firefox 5 (for those hazy on the details, version 5 was officially released June 20), but already it's time to move on. The latest iteration of Mozilla's Firefox web browser, Firefox 6, is now here and ready for consumption. Here's the link for Windows. Mac and Linux (click here for X64) versions are also available.
So, what can you expect Firefox 6 to bring? Well, don't hold your breath for a lot of visual differences. The Firefox UI has remained the same for the most part as the bulk of the changes for this release are happening behind the scenes. The most noticeable cosmetic change is that the address bar now highlights the domain of the website you're visiting. Under the hood there's added support for the latest version of WebSocket as well as stream-lined performance when it comes to start times and opening large numbers of tabs at once. There's also the addition of a new permissions tool that will allow the end-user better control of which websites are storing what information (cookies, passwords, location, etc.).

I suppose feature bloat is a natural course software developers take, however, in trying to add value they alienate their user base, and hurt the performance/usage that likely made them a viable choice to begin with.
I find myself using chrome and ie9 more, and more.

unfortunately if you want 64bit version, you have to update it manually...
also I think the 64bit link in Tom's is for Linux...I don't see any executable file in there....
Some stuff you don't need to see or even know about. What matters is that it's secure, compatible and accessible.
Chrome and even IE9 (shocking, I know) do this. Firefox 5+ seems more clunky IMO. They need to get more basic on the UI side of things.
No thank you. FF did enough BS dumbing down its UI Chrome-style... if FF 6 doesn't let me re-adjust the UI back to 3.6 style, I'll dump it. About to find out... FF 6 is supposed to use less RAM, lol - let's see.
Just go to Mozilla to download and install.
Try it, YOU WILL LIKE IT!
Those hard working people at Mozilla are serving up the goods fresh baked from the oven. And they are not half-baked either.
This: They were on the unstable, buggy 3.5 way too long. I am glad they are pushing development faster... Version 4+ has been much more stable... And improving... I have gone away from Chrome at work. Only use Chome on my netbook now.
Chrome for work.
Opera for general browsing.
IE when all else fails.
