All you Firefox fans can rejoice, for the fairly long-awaited 1.5 release is available for download here. Fore more information, see the release notes.
I'm sure by now most interested readers are aware of the new and improved features in 1.5, so I'll just round up my favorites:
* Reorderable Tabs. Dang, it's about time. Also, if your mouse has a scroll button, you can easily close a tab by clicking it. Nice and handy. Firefox was starting to seem too slow and inflexible for me, especially after testing out the developers release of Flock, which has both of these capabilities.
* Faster Browsing. Again, Firefox was feeling sluggish to me. With 1.5, I can't quantify it, but I do believe it's faster.
Least favorite features:
* Automatic software updates. While admitting that I don't fully know how this will work yet, anyone whose played in Firefox long enough knows that newer versions tend not to play well with certain extensions. Supposedly 1.5 has better extension handling, and shouldn't cause conflicts as in previous 1.0.x versions.
* Clear Private Data. Really, who needs one keyboard shortcut to clear all your private info? If you need this, you're probably doing something you shouldn't be!
For a complete list of all new features and bug fixes, see the Unofficial Firefox 1.5 changelog from Burning Edge.
