Mozilla released Firefox 4 only three months ago. After the release, there has been one update — Firefox 4.0.1 — meant to fix some secuty flaws. That is the last update the Firefox 4 will be getting. According to Daniel Veditz, Security Lead at Mozilla, Firefox 5 is the security update to Firefox 4.
