Anyone using the Amazon S3 Firefox Organizer extension will be disappointed as I am to discover that it doesn't work with FF5.
EDIT: Luckily, I had a moment of intelligence and copied FF4 before installing FF5, so I would recommend doing that if you use S3Fox with any regularity.
You can probably hack the extension to support FF5. There haven't been too many changes that should affect this.
And hence the stupidity in adopting Chrome-style meaningless major version-numbers when what is released is only a minor update. I know the IT industry is highly fashion-driven, but that doesn't mean following fashions doesn't have drawbacks.
This is Firefox 4.1 at best, but released as Firefox 5 with all the needless addon breaking headaches that will bring, just because Mozilla wanted to be more "fashionate". Great job guys. Great job.
I guess this another thing we can thank the Chrome team for.

Point releases in the past have broken extension compatibility, so asking that it be 4.1 instead of 5 wouldn't necessarily have the kinds of tangible benefits that you seem to think it would.
