Firefox 1.5 final!!!

Yup, it’s here, as everyone else has already mention (don’t these guys sleep? :) ). Auto-update should trigger at any time (unless you’re still using that horrid thing that came with the computer, which you probably call “the internet”… but then, what are you doing on this site if you’re such a technophobe?). You can also get it from the official FTP site, if you’re in a hurry.

From the Mozillazine post:

Firefox 1.5 introduces several new features, including an improved software update system, faster Back / Forward page navigation, a new options to clear private browsing data, drag-and-drop reordering of browser tabs, a redesigned Options/Preferences window and more robust popup blocking. Standards support is also improved, with support for Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG), JavaScript 1.6 and additional CSS properties. Accessibility is much improved (including new DHTML accessibility features), security has been enhanced and Mac OS X support has also been improved.

As any regular reader knows, I’ve been using 1.5 versions since the betas (which came before 3 release candidates), and even then they already worked better than the 1.0.x versions. So go get 1.5 without any fears of “using bleeding edge software”.
