Firefox 1.5 released

Firefox 1.5 is released!
. I just installed it and works good. This meant that I had to move away from Stipe version of Firefox. I had 1.0.6 installed on my system and was working fine so far. Moving to the new version of Firefox has meant that I cannot use quite a few extensions for now (Chatzilla and Greasemonkey do not work). Anyway, I am sure there will be updated extensions available soon. The release notes for version 1.5 are :- What's New in Firefox 1.5 Firefox 1.5 is the next version of our award-winning Web browser. Here's what's new in Firefox 1.5: * Automated update to streamline product upgrades. Notification of an update is more prominent, and updates to Firefox may now be half a megabyte or smaller. Updating extensions has also improved. * Faster browser navigation with improvements to back and forward button performance. * Drag and drop reordering for browser tabs. * Improvements to popup blocking. * Clear Private Data feature provides an easy way to quickly remove personal data through a menu item or keyboard shortcut. * Answers.com is added to the search engine list. * Improvements to product usability including descriptive error pages, redesigned options menu, RSS discovery, and "Safe Mode" experience. * Better accessibility including support for DHTML accessibility and assistive technologies such as the Window-Eyes 5.5 beta screen reader for Microsoft Windows. Screen readers read aloud all available information in applications and documents or show the information on a Braille display, enabling blind and visually impaired users to use equivalent software functionality as their sighted peers. * Report a broken Web site wizard to report Web sites that are not working in Firefox. * Better support for Mac OS X (10.2 and greater) including profile migration from Safari and Mac Internet Explorer. * New support for Web Standards including SVG, CSS 2 and CSS 3, and JavaScript 1.6. * Many security enhancements. I only hope that there is either a Stipe version of Firefox 1.5 release soon along with Moox version of Firefox :). Technorati Tags: , ,
