why should i update to a beta version (5), if in the firefox website the firefox 4 is the latest version?
My version, 4.0.1, asked my to apply the update to version Beta 5. When I look for details on why, I find no information available. I then return to the firefx page where it automatically says that I have the latest version.

It is possible that you are still on the beta update channel if you ever installed a Firefox 4 beta version or a release candidate.
You can check that by looking at the pref app.update.channel on the about:config page.
If the value of that pref is beta then it is better to download and install the latest Firefox 4.0.x release.

Firefox 4.0.1 is the current release version. People who have previously installed a beta version of Firefox 4 are being offered the beta version of Firefox 5. It is up to you if you want to install the beta. Firefox 5 is due to be released on June 21st.
