Mozilla Introduces Firefox 1.5 and Ups the Ante in Web Browsing
New automatic update system makes Firefox an "install once and forget it" application for all types of Web users
MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA - Nov. 29, 2005 - One year after the debut of Firefox 1.0, and more than 100 million downloads later, Mozilla Corp. today released Firefox 1.5, the latest version of its acclaimed open source Web browser, available now as a free download from www.getfirefox.com. Firefox 1.5 builds upon the success of its predecessor to deliver an improved browser with significant performance and usability upgrades, security and privacy enhancements, best-in-class support for Web standards, and greater customization options.
“With dozens of enhancements, Firefox 1.5 will draw many new users to the improved Web experience it affords,” said Mitchell Baker, CEO of Mozilla Corporation. “Firefox is proof of our passion for promoting choice and innovation on the Web and making the Internet accessible and productive. Firefox 1.5 is the easiest browser to install, use, customize, and keep up-to-date and secure.”
For those of you who want the Noia 2.0 Theme remeber to DL the new version.
Also, some people have been complaining of the flash not loading. This is in conjunction with AdBlock. Go to Tools->Adblock->Preferences Then click on Adblock Options Then un-check Obj-tabs
Just downloaded it! Works great - it's very stable, and runs faster on my PC! Also, when you can't access a page (due to a e.g. timeout), you don't get the annoying pop-up box that tells you that - instead, you are redirected to an internal firefox error page that you can view later if you are browsing something else at the moment (the page contains a "try again" button - neat!).
Unfortunately, some existing plugins that you may have installed with your old firefox version cannot be used with the 1.5 version Well, in time, I'm sure that the authors of your favorite plugins will release a 1.5 compatible version soon
Anyway, highly recommended! Straight to the download page everybody!
I had two skins: "Brushed" and "Silver", when I checked what was going on inside the "themes" option (under the "tools" menu), I found out that they were grayed out with a small label underneath it - "Disabled - not compatible with...".
Hopefully, there will be new versions of these skins, compatible with FF 1.5
Or have they included the tuning in this new version of Firefox?
Might have to snag me a copy of 1.5 later.
You could do the way told in that 'tutorial' or if you want to speed up your connection and page rendering without having to go into the about:config menu you also could use a great extension called Fasterfox in which you can do the same:
There are 5 settings (which you can set it in ->edit ->prefereces-> fasterfox) namely: 1 default = non optimized 2 couteous = rendering tweaks only, no increase on web server load 3 optimiced = network optimizations for increased performance within the RFC specs 4 turbo charged = Maximum performance, exeeds RFC specs 5 costum = advanced options
Following info will be quoted since it commes from the extension site itself
QUOTE
Quick Description
Performance and network tweaks for Firefox.
Fasterfox allows you to tweak many network and rendering settings such as simultaneous connections, pipelining, cache, DNS cache, and initial paint delay.
Dynamic speed increases can be obtained with the unique prefetching mechanism, which recycles idle bandwidth by silently loading and caching all of the links on the page you are browsing.
A popup blocker for popups initiated by Flash plug-ins is also included.
* Added German (de-DE) localization. Special thanks to Gerald Frankl and Oliver Roth. * Added Spanish(es-ES) localization. Special thanks to Raul Gonzalez Duque. * Updated Brazilian Portuguese (pt-BR) localization. Special thanks to Marcelo Ghelman. * Increased max version to 1.5.
Well what can you say about it really apart from that its like firefox 1 but better, thats about it its faster more stable (not that version 1 wasn't stable) and it has a few cool (but more importantly usefull) features. which are implemented very well and add to the excellent useability of the original version, I haven't really found any obvious flaws yet apart from some extension incapatibility but thats not really a problem with firefox. Lets just hope the extended advertising capaign works and more people at least try this great alternate browser.
Has anyone else have a problem where their scroll bar has disapeared? Because I updated my firefox to 1.5 and I don't have a scroll bar anymore. I don't know if its a setting or something with the theme I have... If anyone could give me some help, that would be greatly appreciated.
With the sites I visit on a daily basis I haven't noticed much difference at all in the way that firefox functions. All I could notice were a few interface changes that weren't too much different from how they were before.

so I recently downloaded firefox portable for my flash drive. I have to say that I was never a fan

How To Disable Firefox's Awesome Bar Many people are struggling to find the benefits of
the so-called Awesome Bar as one member so truthfully pointed out , the smart tag makes your

I was only recently made aware of the release of Firefox 3, having not been notified by Firefox, and
problems with my internet connection that caused Trap17 and similar websites to slow to snails-pace,
so I ended up missing the download day and haven't got it yet. The thing is though, I've
been hearing a lot of negative press about it. I know that there was concern that Firefox would
break Flash support a while ago, which was fixed, and I hear it's kind of restrictive as to
downloading addons and junk. Now, I did actually test Firefox 3 Beta 5, and my only ....
Pliz don't get me wrong! I love Firefox and I'll be one of the people who will download
the browser on the download day. Although this is my browser of choice I still think these mguys
have gone too far with this download record thing. I saw this blog titled Will Firefox 3 set
a new world record? and I couldn't help but laugh at such an obsession. Can someone
really brag about a record that after working so hard to force us to propell them to the top. I
think if anyone needs such a record they should just market their product, make it appe....

As many of you know Firefox will be attempting to set a world record on "Download Day" - Date to be
announced. As most people on this forum have taste and use firefox I think it would be great that on
the day we could have a post where whenever someone downloads can post in, then we can take a
screenshot of it and send it to mozilla. It could be in the guest forum or a members forum but
obviously nothing with post count, I just want to know what the admins/mods fink of this idea? for
more information and I suggest you read this go to ....

This piece of news only affect Vietnamese users as the Vietnam language package was infected with

they have a solution for it. As for the cause of this infected plugin, they assume the authors

No seriously, I've been using Firefox since 0.x releases. I loved it. Every release, despite
having no huge features, was a great update. Version 3, however, totally messes everything up. Its
default interface is ugly. And no Home button, really ??? (ps. I kno i can drag it back from the
bookmarks toolbar but still, its stupid). The address bar search thing. I liked the concept, but I
am so used to the old way, this actually distracts me, I don't want to search my history
everytime I type a new address. Plus the slide out is huge now making the whole thing feel t....
There will be a google search box at the top right corner (by default) If you have browser

Hi all Ive had this problem for a little while now, i cant say exactly when but it started with
sites such as youtube and has spread out from there really, the biggest culprits are youtube and
myspace. The issue is that if i was on youtube and wanted to watch a video i would obviously click
the link, firefox would then show the loading bar and my page loading timer would start but it would
never actually begin loading, the status bar would say "loading" or if i clicked the link again it
would show "stopped" yet the loading bar would be there. Needless to say the loadin....

Ok first of all, i have read through all the Firefox tune-up tutorials on the site, and none of them
have mentioned on how to make Firefox load faster like IE. So i thought i should make a easy
tutorial on it. REAL EASY WAY: Download Firetune: FIRETUNE And you will know what to do,
just muck around with the software’s settings. COMPLICATED BUT TECHNICAL WAY: And second of
all, all those who are still using IE (Microsoft's infamous Internet Explorer) get Firefox. Why
you may ask, read this: FIREFOX vs. IE . Have you ever noticed on how fast IE lo....

QUOTE The hot new Firefox plug-in takes browser customization to a whole new level by letting
users filter site content or change page behaviors. The glory of open-source software is that it
allows anyone with the inclination and the scripting knowledge to get under the hood and hot-rod
their computing environment. But most of the time, that advantage is available only to people with
the programming skills to make the changes they want. That's where Greasemonkey, a free plug-in
for Firefox, comes in -- it simplifies hacking the browser. Released at the end 2004....

Hi guys, Our beloved FireFox Browser hit the 50 million -th download mark today. We were all
