Firefox 1.5 is Released
by Michael Calore
The latest release of Mozilla’s Firefox browser is out. Version 1.5 adds improvements to accessibility features, performance, and security. Read the release notes here.
Webmonkey’s testing lab has had a chance to drive the new browser today. We can report that forward/backward navigation is much faster. Also, the new drag-and-drop reordering of browser tabs is very cool. There is also a searchable cookie manager that we haven’t had time to play around with yet.
The installer broke a few of our extensions, but most of them seem to work. There is usually a lag time of a week or so between the release of the latest browser version and the updating of the most popular extensions. So, we’ll revisit this issue in December to see how the extensions stuff is coming along.
