Firefox 1.5 Released to General Public
After many rounds of beta candidates, the open-source Firefox 1.5 browser was offered for download to the masses late Tuesday. Not resting on its laurels, however, the Mozilla Foundation programming team is now eyeing the feature set for Version 2.0.
The anticipated Version 1.5 offers performance gains, usability enhancements and support for new Web graphics standards through a beefier version of the Gecko layout engine.
On the security front, the update offers a new "safe mode" for enhanced protection against potential threats and daily, automated checks for security updates.
