From what I've read on tech blogs, Firefox 5.0 is more like Firefox 4.1, and the jump to 5 was mostly a ruse to get more publicity. Firefox 5 was supposed to fix "some" memory leaks, but users are still stating that the browser is using 1.5 gb - 2gb Ram with only a few pages open during the day.
Personally, I love Chrome! It's fast, lightweight, and simple. I do switch back and forth between Firefox and Chrome on my VM's when making ghost accounts, but for my regular browsing I use Chrome's Canary build. If you're a Chrome enthusiast like me you should check it out! The Canary build is where they test new features before the mainstream gets them. However, it's not even considered a beta build so it crashes quite a bit.
In regards to Stealth and Ghost accounts, Firefox 5.0 should be a stable upgrade, and your plugins shouldn't break because it's more like a jump from 4.0 to 4.1 than to a radical new version of the browser. Most of the new features are for developers than for the public. Like more CSS, HTML 5, an Javascript support.
