But that said, FF5 is just FF 4.02 really why they felt the need to bump a whole 99 revisions up is a mystery, and fairly dumb.. but not really relevant. Its a security update for FF 4.01 and thus "not installing it" is not an option.

I'm guessing that browser revision numbers have recently become a "whose is bigger" contest, and they are playing catch up. Chrome is up to version 13.0.782.32 beta-m, and this is just to fight the perception for casual users that Firefox is falling behind.
