Firefox 3 Beta 5 Released

Firefox 3 Beta 5 is out! This last beta release sports performance-boosting improved connection parallelism. Not only has “the memory leak’ been fixed: Firefox now uses less memory than other browsers, according to Mozilla developers.
The new release also adds one-click site info, Vista parental controls (not that you’re using Vista!), a revamped download manager and a lot more!
I haven’t downloaded Beta 5 yet, since I rely heavily on certain plugins. I can’t take any chances if they don’t work yet on this new release. My father told me once “Never work on the car you drive to work.”
The final release of Firefox 3 is expected in June.
