Firefox 1.5

After being available as Firefox 1.5 beta, the Mozilla Foundation has now released the official new Firefox 1.5 web browser, which you can download here for free. Firefox has become a very popular alternative to Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser. Firefox downloads topped 100 million recently, and I'm not at all surprised - it rocks!

Firefox 1.5 features:

A Better Web Experience    

Firefox 1.5 has an intuitive interface and blocks viruses, spyware, and popup ads. It delivers web pages faster than ever. And it’s easy to install and import your favorites. Packed with useful features like tabbed browsing, Live Bookmarks, and an integrated Search bar, Firefox will change the way you experience the Web, for the better.

Faster Browsing    

Enjoy quick page loading as you navigate back and forward in a browsing session. 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    

The new Software Update feature makes it easy to get the latest security and feature updates to Firefox. Firefox automatically downloads these 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.
