Mozilla delivered on its promise to have the Version 5 release of its browser ready by midwinter's day, which takes place today in Australia – 22 June 2011.
The new version officially calls itself 5.0, but the Version 4 release is just three months old, and has had only one point update (to Version 4.0.1).
It looks as though Mozilla is simply copying Google's Chrome version numbering system in order to seem more "with it."
