I thought 4 was new but ended up downloading 5. Is that a Beta? and should I have downloaded 4?

Fire Fox 4 reminders kept popping up and finally I had time to download. Then FF5 was available so I did download it but wondered why FF5 was not shown or talked about in the video. Now wonder if it is a Beta??

Firefox 5 was officially released yesterday, so most likely you have the final release rather than the beta.

(And yes, it is strange that updates will now be in whole numbers rather than point releases.)
