Firefox 1.5 Released

Mozilla releases Firefox 1.5 yesterday. Firefox is also one of the most widely distributed open source programs, meaning anyone can use and modify the code
The new Version has come up with many small/big features..here are few..

1- More sophisticated security and performance features.
2- Support for new web programming standards, such as AJAX, that enable more graphical capabilities in Web pages
3- Firefox 1.5 also adds support for Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG), JavaScript 1.6 and new versions of Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). SVG is a language based on XML for writing sophisticated, two-dimensional graphics.
4- In addition to a more effective pop-up blocker, the updated browser is designed to ease security updates. The program checks daily for patches, downloads them automatically and then prompts users to install them.
5- It includes a wizard that allows users to report Web sites that don't work in Mozilla's browser so developers can ensure sites that work in Explorer also work in Firefox. The new version also includes more descriptive error-message pages and a redesigned Options/Preferences window that increases the number of category icons and moves them from the left side of the window to the top.
6- Forward and backward browsing buttons :)

You can download this new version from here.
