Re: Firefox Update/Additions (OT)
I think I will wait to install it till after a few beta trials. How much faster does the new version make the browser? Firefox is great, but could be easily be improved.

Re: Firefox Update/Additions (OT)
Mine says 1.5.
A techie built me a new computer a couple weeks ago and installed it. I don't know much about what the differences are. Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051111 Firefox/1.5 I haven't really checked out any new features (if there is any) but I found something I don't like. When you try to clear the history & cache and all that stuff, that CLEAR ALL button no longer exsists. You have to go under each of the 6 tabs and clear them individually. Unless I'm missing something, this seams like a step backwards in the user friendly department. |

Actually, v 1.5 is released, not beta, not rc, but really released. ARS has an article and you can get it here for Windows.

Re: Firefox Update/Additions (OT)
you did overlook something. They added a new "Clear Private Data" option right in the Tools menu, and through there you can clear all of them at once

Re: Firefox Update/Additions (OT)
I downloaded 1.5 yesterday.
It's much much faster than the old version. It also tasks less CPU usage. Also I can finally use the Black Japan 1.0.3. theme which is by far and away the best theme ever offered for Firefox. I'm very happy with the new release. I didn't really think it would be so improved. |
