Mozilla has announced the availability of the first Firefox 5 beta release for Windows, Linux, Mac OS X and Android. The new desktop version includes a built-in release channel switcher and support for CSS animations. The new mobile version introduces support for the Do Not Track header and a number of other improvements.
Mozilla is transitioning to a faster-paced development model with shorter cycles between major releases. The organization is aiming to deliver three more major updates this year, bringing the Firefox version number to 7 by the end of 2011. To accommodate the more iterative release management strategy, Mozilla has established a system of release channels through which new improvements will flow before arriving in a stable release. It's similar to the approach already used successfully by Google for its Chrome Web browser.
Another major improvement is the addition of support for CSS animations, an experimental CSS3 feature that was originally created by Apple. It allows Web developers to use keyframe animation to tweak CSS properties.
