Apple has released the latest version of its Safari web browser.
A new version of Mozilla’s popular Firefox web browser is also ready for download with improved security and memory use as the tiny company takes a stab at Microsoft’s dominant Internet Explorer.

It’s been four weeks since beta 4 has been out, and seems some major bugs have been taken care of in the latest beta version (that’s what Mozilla said). Many of these improvements in beta 5 have been incorporated based on community feedback from the previous beta, the company claims.

Apparently, the release (of Beta 5) has been delayed a bit due to some issues with a serious bug in the Mac version of the browser that needed some time to be fixed, the company said. And as is the case with all beta releases, this one too is labeled as a “developer preview release” and hopes to receive further maturity with the help of Web developers and Mozilla’s testing community. Mozilla claims that Firefox 3 Beta 5 includes more than 750 changes over and above the previous beta that make for improved stability and Web compatibility, and enhanced user interface — in turn resulting in the fastest Firefox ever.
