I was unable to verify Firefox 5 as an option with my CD version of 6.7, even opening up all possible repositories.
I am amused. The way things are classified, we may as well also list Opera and M$ Window Explorer as options too ! True enough, if you willing dig up everything and put in new things ....

May be mostly a kernel upgrade/bugfix release
From the documentation I have seen so far, this is mostly a kernel upgrade/bugfix/driver update release. Plus quite a bit of reworked Adriane stuff. I'm most curious about any changes to the innards, can't wait to take a diff of the minirt init (But I don't think so much has changed there recently.
As for Firefox 5.0.1, at least in 64 bits it looks promising.

Correction to my posts #3 & #5 about Chromium & Flash
.
I am embarrased to admit that I've got Chromium working with flash, after all.
Not being familiar with its symbology, I missed the clue that 'some plug-ins are blocked'.
Look for a little icon with a red 'x' in the address bar at the top.
Even so, I prefer Firefox-5 1st, IceWeasel-3.6 2nd and Chromium 3rd.
My bad. I don't know why the default is to block the built-in capability.

Is knoppix V6.7.0 more usable inside virtualbox compared to 6.4.4 ? Does it still need the 'noudev', after that mouse is not working ?

utu:
I read your post with interest because I would like to get flash working with Chromium on my Knoppix 6.7 as well. I am new to Linux.
Had no problem with the red x "unblocking" and after being led to a number of adobe sites, downloading flash_player_10_linux.tar.gz and extracting it (libflashplayer.so) in the download folder, following some instructions I found about going to "aboutlugins" and enabling chrome Nacl and Default Plugin - version 1 (IceTea v. 1.8.7 was already enabled). For good measure I went to the Contents settings and set Javascript to allow all sites, and Plugins to run automatically. I even added CNBC.com to the exceptions in both Javascript and Plugins, so I though I was all set.
But when I go to view one of the videos on a CNBC.com site, instead of getting a playing video, I'm told I need to install flash player. I can only think that I haven't installed the extracted flash linux.tar.gz file into the proper place.
Do I have to close chromium and/or reboot? I haven't done this yet because I don't want to loose all my bookmarks and preferences. Can you help me? (I also downloaded Firefox and have same problem with installing flash into it, although I could install Download YouTube Videos + 3.3.51.)
If I can get flash working on both browsers, I'd like to try and set up my chromium browser to keep all my setting (preferences and bookmarks) intact, so that when I boot up I don't loose everything. In reading through the postings that follow your message, I understand that this can be accomplished with Knoppix using "overlayering" (on the thumb drive I have Knoppix installed), but this sounds a bit complicated. Is it?
Thanks for any input.

Greetings, John & welcome to the forum.
You have two main questions as I see it.
1. Getting flash going; and
2. 'Overlayering'
Let's tackle flash first. That's the easiest.
I think the best way to do that is to use Synaptic.
Synaptic is a menu item on you main menu.
First time you use it, do 'reload' to update the cache.
Then search for Flash. You should get an answer for flashplugin-nonfree.
Install this and you should be set for both Chromium and IceWeasel;
anyway, I was.
I use 'Silent Monks' on YouTube to test my flash & sound.
First hit on Google.
Get that under your belt first, then come back and lets talk
about overlayering. It's not really complicated.

Greetings, again John.
When you last booted, were you given a choice on setting up a persistent store?
Did you answer that question, or did it just whiz by?
If this makes no sense, just say so, and we'll start from there.
