Firefox 1.5 Released

“The Mozilla Corporation has released Firefox 1.5, the latest version of the popular open source Web browser for Mac, Windows, and Linux. Important new features include an automated update capability, improved navigation performance, drag-and-drop reordering of tabs, improved pop-up blocking, a one-step method of clearing private data, more-descriptive error pages, automatic RSS discovery, better accessibility, a wizard for reporting broken Web sites, enhanced support for Mac OS X (including profile migration from Safari and Internet Explorer), and numerous security enhancements. Firefox 1.5 requires Mac OS X 10.2 or later and is a 9.4 MB download.”
Firefox is the browser I recommend to all our clients. Unlike Microsoft Internet Explorer, Firefox is based on open standards and provides a safer and more consistent browsing experience. The technology behind Internet Explorer is totally outdated, it hasn’t been brought up to the current standards in years. But it is its low security level that is causing the greatest concerns.
