Title: FIREFOX 1.5 is out!!
Post by: Jome on November 29, 2005, 03:52:11 PM: http://www.mozilla.com/

Tried the beta for 4-5 days, and it's better than ever..
Stuff I noticed:

* OPTIONS - Redesigned, easier to use/view, and with more options and choices.
* CLEAN PRIVATE DATA - For all you porn freaks out there, clean your traces easily, and clear the temp files and cookies.
* POP-UP BLOCKER - Improved, nothing gets by it now it seems.
* ERROR MESSAGES - Instead of the annoying IE-style pop-up window, a yellow page is displayed with a "Retry"-button.
* EXTENSIONS - New system for Extensions making the Extensions work even after Firefox updates, Extensions less likely to crash Firefox.
* TABS - You can move the tabs back and forth now, for easier navigation.
* LIVE BOOKMARKS - Haven't tried this yet, but they say it's RSS on a new level.
* AUTOMATIC UPDATES - Firefox can now upgrade itself in the background, you don't need to download and install any more.
Will also update Extensions/Themes automatically, so they will always stay combatible.
* BUGFIXES, like the picture overflow bug on WCC is fixed, Flash is loading quicker than ever, videos working quicker/better, etc.
* BACK/FORWARD-button is quicker than ever, quicker than a lama.
* STABLE - Have tried to crash it with 40-50 tabs and dodgy sites with pop-ups and spyware, but no crashes yet.

There's probably more as well, but it's the details I noticed after less than a week of use. 8)
