Beta 1 of the up-coming Firefox 1.5 is upon us. Features include better update notification, smaller update filesizes, drag and drop tab reordering, popup blocker improvements and more.
Read the release notes for more info, and if you fancy trying out the beta, do let us know your thoughts on it!
Fantastic! I can't wait to try it out. The new features sound extrememly promising, and are just the kind of things that needed addressing. Firefox is truly amazing for what it's done, standing up to the biggest company in the world and saying, "actually, we can do better!" Hats off to them, can't wait to see what they come up with next :)
Been trying it out all morning and its not bad. Theyve made the bookmarks menu more different, but when you press the ' key it seems to load up the search bar for some reason which makes typing a bit difficult. It doesnt do it all the time just some time.
Beware a lot of extensions dont work yet as well.
The ' key makes the 'find bar' come up in 1.0.6 but only when the cursor isn't in a text box. Probably needs fixing in the Beta.
Improvement in 1.5 look good, especially like the sound of drag n drop tabs. I've wanted to do that plenty of times. Looking good.
Cool, I beat Steve by nearly 3 hours :D

Well, it seems good so far. Agree though that there is modifications needed. Will be good not have to update myself. So far all of my extensions have worked!
