When we are busy playing with Firefox 4 Final, Mozilla has already started building foundation for next release Firefox 5. Mozilla officials that roadmap for 2011 is not yet finalized but planed. Firefox 5 Final is expected on June 29th while stable build on April 13.
Reading Conceivably Tech, I found that Firefox 4.2 Pre-Alpha available on Mozilla FTP server for download which is said to be foundation for Firefox 5. May be the time constraints have restricted Mozilla for using version Firefox 4.2 Pre-Alpha instead of Firefox 5.0 Alpha. The date is calculated according to the roadplan of Mozilla.
Looking inside the Firefox 4.2 alpha, Noticeable change was seen on How Firefox 5 will handle account information on individual websites. The account manager will support multiple accounts through the URL bar and support multiple account sign-ins at the same time.
Firefox 5 is expected to have new interface while the details on the evolution of JavaScript engine will also be announced at a later time.
