E’ stato rilasciato poco fa la versione 1.5 di Firefox. Il download è disponibile per Windows, MacOsX e Linux, anche in italiano. Fra le migliorie apportate, sembra ci siano maggiori performance del programma (es. i pulsanti avanti e indietro) e perfezionato il blocco dei popup. In più una maggiore versatilità data dal supporto della tecnologia DHTML e degli standard SVG, CSS 2 and CSS 3, and JavaScript 1.6.
