Firefox 1.5 Released

The new version of Firefox has been released as version 1.5.  (Click here to download)

I have only installed it on my work computer and have realised that many of my extensions and all my themes are incompatible.  If you’re a heavy modder of Firefox, I would suggest waiting until the open source community updates all their extensions etc.

In regards to the Firefox itself, I don’t see any great benefit other than my tabbed preferences extension is basically built into the main application.  Apparently it is supposed to run quicker etc, but given that I have so many extensions now disabled, I lose a bit of speed just from frustration…

At this stage, good to see progress has been made, but I would stick to v1.0.7 for a bit yet…
