Subject:  [VOICENWS] SW: Mozilla Firefox 1.5.0.1 Has Been Released

++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service   http://www.os2voice.org ++

From: "Sander Nyman"<2sanderDESPAM at DESPAMsbcglobal.net>

Mozilla Firefox 1.5 .0.1 has been released.  This is a security and 
stability update to Mozilla Firefox 1.5.  It is also said to have 
addressed several memory leaks.  It contains 8 security fixes, one of 
which is rated critical, so updating to 1.5.0.1 is recommended.

If you have not already upgraded to Firefox 1.5.x (WHAT ARE YOU 
THINKING???), Improvements over Firefox 1.0.x versions are extensive, 
including an automated update system to streamline product upgrades, 
faster Back and Forward navigation, a feature for clearing private 
browsing data, drag-and-drop reordering of browser tabs, a redesigned 
Options/Preferences window and better popup blocking. Web standards 
support is also improved, with support for Scalable Vector Graphics, 
JavaScript 1.6 and more CSS. Accessibility is also better (including 
new DHTML accessibility features), security has also been enhanced. 
Firefox's Extension System has been redesigned to make extension 
upgrades cleaner (nothing left behind from previous versions).

You can download it here:

latest version is 0.5.1, which includes an installer.  Available here:
