Version 1.5 of the popular open-source Firefox browser has been released. The first major update since the release of Firefox 1.0 last November, version 1.5 features automatic updates, improved popup blocking, as well as faster back and forward button performance and the ability to re-order browser tabs.

Firefox has been steadily growing in popularity over the past 18 months, with Firefox users now making up well over a third of visitors to the BU main page.

Head over here to pick up Firefox 1.5.

Not to say that firefox is the best browser ever, but this is good news, i'm saying that because there are a few other good free web browsers out there like opera, hey, this still rocks tho!

I mean err. yey firefox!

Opera ain't bad. But until it gets a Javascript Debugger built right into the interface (that I can find/am aware of) and it stops crashing on my computer then maybe I'll look back into it =O

Is the final release of 1.5 the same as Firefox 1.5rc3? cos I installed 1.5rc3 weeks ago and now when I try to update it it says there are no new updates available.

When I first installed 1.5 beta it made a mess of my profile and extensions so I deleted my profile folder and all extensions and remade it - which you might have to do if you have problems upgrading from 1.0.x, especially if you made as many customisations as I did

I'm not entirely impressed with 1.5. After upgrading, it broke my theme and all but 2 of my extensions, as well as removed all my installed Search Engines. Most of the more useful extensions were able to be updated or are obsolite. Its time for a new theme, and when I try to add a search enging back, I sometimes have to click it 5-6 times before it will install. I'll be sticking with 1.0 for a bit longer on my other machines. Its not worth the hassle of updating just yet.

edit: The search toolbar doesnt seem to be working at all. Anyone else having that problem?

Well, there were only two things I missed with my install of Firefox 1.5:

1) My Theme (PlastikFox Crystal SVG) broke

2) DownloadThemAll! Broke

However, I just found a new theme that's compatible (BlackJapan) and I absolutely love it. It's sleek and sexy.

Now all I need is a new version of DownloadThemAll! and I'm set. :)

Yeah I had similar problems when I first installed firefox 1.5rc1. I had to uninstall firefox, delete my whole profile folder, reinstall 1.5 and reinstall all my extensions and then it worked perfectly.
