Firefox 1.5 update

November 30, 2005

The Mozilla Corporation has released Firefox 1.5 web browser. Like my fellow coworker I have updated and really didn’t have any issues. 1.5 looks very much like previous versions. I don’t use any themes or extensions so to me it seems to be exactly the same. I do agree with Bryan about the memory leaks. On occasion I have experienced the memory leaks along with high cpu utilization when Firefox is open for extended periods of time.

I do have to say though when IE 7 comes out, I will probably go back to IE as my main browser.
The only reason I use Firefox now is the tabbed browsing. Not that there is anything wrong with Firefox, just always liked IE.

I do agree with Bryan that Mozilla needs to have some sort of corporate solution for rolling out and managing Firefox to multiply machines. This would really help their image for the corporate market share.
