Firefox 1.5 Beta 1

Monday, September 12th, 2005

Mozilla resently released a new version of Firefox, their relatively new Web Standards compliant web browser. Despite the fact that it is only in the beta phase, it already shows a lot of promise!

New features include (Release Notes):

  • Automated update

  • Faster browser navigation
  • Drag and drop reordering for browser tabs
  • Improvements to popup blocking
  • Clear Private Data
  • Answers.com is added to the search engine list
  • Improvements to product usability
  • Better accessibility
  • Report a broken Web site wizard
  • Better support for Mac OS X (w00t!)

As you can see, there is not much by way of broken features despite the beta quality. The major problems come into play when you find that most of your Extensions don’t work anymore!! They are completely disabled and cannot be re-enabled. Overall, it feels much cleaner. I think it’s worth a try!

You can try this new version for yourself by clicking here. (more…)
