Firefox 1.5 released

Firefox, the nest web browser on the planet, has just released a major update. Version 1.5 was released yesterday and can be downloaded from their website, Mozilla.com. Here are some of the new or improved features:

• Faster Browsing: improvements to the engine that powers Firefox deliver more accurate display of complex web sites, support for new Web standards, and better overall performance.
• Automatic Updates: Firefox automatically downloads small updates in the background and prompts you when they are ready to be installed.
• Tabbed Browsing: Use tabbed browsing to open multiple web pages in a single browser window, and quickly flip back and forth. Drag and drop open tabs to keep related pages together.
• Live Bookmarks: Stay up to date with your favorite Web sites and blogs. Use Live Bookmarks that update themselves automatically with the latest content from the Web.

• Customize Firefox: Select new button controls for your toolbars, install extensions to add new features, or change the look of your browser with themes - the way Firefox looks and works is under your control.

I simply love Firefox and the ability to customize it as I like through themes and extensions. I'll do a post soon on what extensions I use, but feel free to post in the comments what Extensions and Themes you use for Firefox.

Happy Surfing!
