Well, it's out.

Here's what's new in Firefox 1.0.5:

    * Several security fixes.

    * Improvements to stability.

Really only security bugfixes, but it's notable faster than 1.0.4 for me. Anyway, this should be the last release before 1.1.

Also, DP 1.1a2 should come any minute now. :)

* Several security fixes.

Well Id like to know what they actually are but the link doesn’t tell you only goes up to 1.0.4 :no:

Security Fixes

And FireFox update can’t 'see' the update yet either

And as for pwner I say.... what ever you say!! I'd hate to be an Internet Explorer user even with the 'recent' updates to XP when SP2 came out. And even still IE has had similar bugs to FF mainly problems with rendering images.

In my option its better.... got to love all the extensions!

Extensions I use

  • adblock
    borkborkbork
    cuneAform
    cutemenus
    downloadmgr
    duplicatetab
    fireftp
    flashblock
    flashgot
    ieview
    jslib
    quicknote
    sage
    tabprefs
    webdeveloper

DPa2 is also out.

It's really getting better. New stuff:

* Software update system to streamline product upgrades (currently disabled– will be turned on shortly for testing)

* Faster browser navigation with improvements to back and forward button performance - Fastback

* Drag-and-drop reordering for browser tabs

* Improvements to popup blocking

* Better support for Mac OS X (10.2 and greater) - Safari profile migrator, Aqua compliance and shell service

* Several security enhancements

- Software Update requires to change your XML-file, but it's pretty useless now as it doesn't include Incremental patching yet, so the downloaded updates are still 4meg+. Good thing is that you don't get an installer anymore, but an updater.

- FastBack rules :)

- Drag 'n Drop isn't as good as the MiniT+indicator extension, but it does its job.

My two cents :P

Also, XUL-error pages are now enabled by default instead of the annoying dialog boxes. Too bad there not as goody-looking yet. But they will soon.
