Firefox 5…Yes you’ve read it right

Gulam Zilani: As we just get use to Mozilla Firefox 4, The Mozilla Foundation is already busy planning the next two releases of the popular browser.  And according to their product development mapping, we should see version 5 in June and version 6 in August.  Although they have set a date of 21st June and 18th august respectively, these dates may change a tad to take into affect of any last minute changes or security vulnerabilities that appear on the web.
But that ís not the end of the Firefox upgrade cycle; by the end of the year we should see version 7 available for us to install on our machines.  So you can expect some heavy competition from Mozilla to capitalise on Microsoft decision of not build an updated browser for XP (which is still heavily used in organisations). And no organisations will not be utilising Google Chrome as their main browser as they feel they will not be able to control a large aspect of the open source browser, hence Firefox is the better alternative to Internet Explorer for organisations to maintain that bit of control.
