Firefox 1.5.... where is it?


Recommended Posts

I read over the net that today would be the day that v1.5 of firefox comes out. For the last 8 months i have been using opera. And today, i am fed up with it. I need a browser that will work with me, not against me. Especially since i have a tablet and now there is an extenstion for the tip.

The only thing i bitch about with firefox is that the extentions need to be updated every few versions. That is a pain in my beehind.

Other then that!!! Bring on Firefox!

:D

Krad, Firefox 1.5 isn't out this week. Firefox 1.5 Beta 1 will be out, barring any blocking bugs. Be careful w/ the beta though... it is beta software and most of your extensions will not work. I've been using the nightlies and I'll tell you now, Firefox 1.5 is gonna be great :)

What I don't get is they are going from 1.0.6 to 1.5 ????

I don't get it. What happen to 1.1/1.2/1.3/1.4/?

It's not uncommon for developers to skip numbers. Look at vBulletin; it jumped straight from 3.0.8 to 3.5.0. Microsoft once jumped from a 2.0 release to a 6.0 release! :rolleyes:

Yeah, as other people said, not out yet, Beta 1 will be soon though.

Besides the reason with many changes (Firefox 1.1 was planned, but the improvements entering the code kept piling up so they skipped that one as I think they didn't want two separate QA cycles for both a 1.1 and 1.5), it's also to show that the release is halfway to Firefox 2.0, a browser supposedly destined to be awesome and released sometime next year. ;) Can you say "IE 7 vs Firefox 2 battle"? :) Interesting times ahead!

I believe it was some kind of Visual Basic program or something. It was a while ago. It went from 2.03 to 6.05 or something.

According to the mozilla.org page here , Release candidates for Firefox 1.5 Beta 1 have been made available.

As it has been written is the article:

It should be noted that Mozilla Firefox 1.5 Beta 1 has not been released yet. Reviewers and bloggers are requested not to jump the gun.

Yes, that's a RC for a Beta. The official Beta is not yet available.
