Mozilla Firefox 1.5

A new version of the Mozilla Firefox browser has just been released. 1.5 includes several enhancements over the 1.0x versions.

I have been using the beta version of 1.5 for a few weeks. I noticed a big improvement in both page rendering and local processor usage. The automatic updating feature has been very nicely streamlined as well.

Look for a big marketing push from the Mozilla folks with the new version.

At the moment, Firefox and (the now free) Opera are far superior browsers to Internet Explorer with significant advancements in security and usability. So, if you haven’t yet, give Firefox a try.
