    Just ahead of the official release announcement, we give you Firefox 1.5! It can be downloaded from one of the following mirrors:

    Windows [Torrent]
    Mac OS X
    Linux
    Non-English Language Version

    Here's what's new in Firefox 1.5:
    • Automated update to streamline product upgrades. Notification of an update is more prominent, and updates to Firefox may now be half a megabyte or smaller. Updating extensions has also improved.
    • Faster browser navigation with improvements to back and forward button performance.
    • Drag and drop reordering for browser tabs.
    • Improvements to popup blocking.
    • Clear Private Data feature provides an easy way to quickly remove personal data through a menu item or keyboard shortcut.
    • Answers.com is added to the search engine list.
    • Improvements to product usability including descriptive error pages, redesigned options menu, RSS discovery, and "Safe Mode" experience.
    • Better accessibility including support for DHTML accessibility and assistive technologies such as the Window-Eyes 5.5 beta screen reader for Microsoft Windows. Screen readers read aloud all available information in applications and documents or show the information on a Braille display, enabling blind and visually impaired users to use equivalent software functionality as their sighted peers.
    • Report a broken Web site wizard to report Web sites that are not working in Firefox.
    • Better support for Mac OS X (10.2 and greater) including profile migration from Safari and Mac Internet Explorer.
    • New support for Web Standards including SVG, CSS 2 and CSS 3, and JavaScript 1.6.
    • Many security enhancements.
