Thanks Dan, It was all done in a hurry so I didn't take time to look in detail, I was just amazed to find FF5 when so far I'd not heard of it. I just used the usual approach of setting the home page to google.co.uk in options but it immediately changed it to iGoogle which irritates me. So far I haven't seen anything in FF4 that is an improvement for me over the latest FF3 although I appreciate that for people who make more use of add-is, etc there are improvements.
