Krad Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob.derosa Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 why dont you just get firefox 1.0.6 if you want a new browser, and were interested in firefox anyway :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RufioPan Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 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 :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quillz Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 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/? 586495040[/snapback] 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexcyn Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 I'm using the nightly considered 1.5 beta 1 right now ... it's actually pretty quick. :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Decryptor Veteran Posted September 8, 2005 Veteran Share Posted September 8, 2005 Yeah, as other people said, not out yet, Beta 1 will be soon though. Microsoft once jumped from a 2.0 release to a 6.0 release! :rolleyes: 586495172[/snapback] What release was that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malisk Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 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/? 586495040[/snapback] 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!
