So what is new in Firefox 5?

The one thing I noticed immediately is new tabs and groups. Mozilla is calling them fabulous tabs.

App Tabs are new addition to Firefox 5. App Tabs allow you to always keep your favorite web apps like Facebook, Gmail and Twitter open and just a click away. App Tabs are small, can't be closed accidentally and open automatically when you start Firefox. This article goes over the features of App Tabs and will show you how use them.

Location bar autocomplete is another new feature added to this version. The location bar is often called the Awesome Bar because it's great at remembering websites you've been to and guessing where you are trying to go. Just type a few letters of a website's name or address into the location bar and it will find it for you. And the more you use it, the better it gets. This article covers the details of how the location bar works and will have you using it like a pro in no time.

Another new feature is called Tab Groups. Tab Groups (also known as Panorama) are an easy way to organize a lot of tabs. With Tab Groups you can visually group related tabs, switch between groups and quickly search through all of your tabs. This article will have you juggling dozens of tabs in no time.

Here are couple of screen shots of Firefox 5.
