Mozilla Firefox 1.5 RC3

[+M2Ys4U Subscriber¹]

I just manually checked for updates and nothing came up

Edit: Just realised I'm using the en-GB build, that'll be why, eh?

It's live now! With installers and stuff :)

Just got prompted by the auto-update (first time ever, since I usually do a manual check update since I am impatient). Quick restart and Firefox is updated. This is slick :)

Got it with the incremental update and it works great. Also, all my themes work on it still!

by checking the build number/date against when the RCs were released

Give or take a few days, according to the Mozilla folks who were just here. If you can't wait until then, release candidate 3 is out today. I don't see a download link for it just yet on www.getfirefox.com, but if you've got RC2 installed you can click Help -> Check for Updates and install it, or wait for the pop-up.

That automatic updating is probably the most significant change in the new version. There are also new accessibility options, and you can clear all your private data - cache, history, passwords, etc. - with one option under Tools.

But really, you probably won't notice that many differences between 1.0 and 1.5. Most of the changes are back-end, to make it faster and render better, Mozilla says. Version 2, due out in mid-2006 will have more user-interface type changes, they say.

We'll have a story in our January issue that looks at the new Firefox, IE, and Opera versions.

Here's a little bonus: one of the guys from Mozilla had what he said was a Google SMS extension that let you select some text, then click a little phone icon in the upper-right and send that text as an SMS message to somebody's phone. Sounds like it might not be out just yet, but it looked like a fun browser gadget, so keep an eye out for it.

Edit (thanks specialk):

The Firefox extension is called "Google Send To Phone."

It can be downloaded here: http://toolbar.google.com/firefox/extensions/
