Firefox 1.5 Expected Today

Word from Firefox aficionado's say that Firefox 1.5 is slated to be released sometime today.

Firefox 1.5 is a major milestone release by the Mozilla Foundation. It represents not only a viable alternative to the way we surf the web, but the continued growth and success of the open-source software community. It�s estimated that 10% of the world's internet-enabled computers run Firefox, with some countries in Europe (Germany, Slovenia and Finland) claiming numbers three times that amount. Love it or hate it, Firefox has truly sparked an internet revolution with its foundations rooted in the spirit of community.

Here's just a few of many things you can expect to see in Firefox 1.5:

# Support for SVG, Canvas, CSS3 Columns, Javascript 1.6
# Revised options window including a new "Clear Private Data" option
# Binary patching with an enhanced automatic update system, eliminating the need to reinstall Firefox for an update or subsequent release
# Significant decrease in page rendering time
# Instant "Back/Foward" browser cache along with tab "Drag and Drop" functionality
# Hundreds of program/stability related bugfixes

I love Firefox and couldn't live without the extensions or tabbed browsing and the rest of the sheer awesomeness Firefox serves up.

Open Source Community = Greatness

I used linux for years, and still do, not as predominantly lately. I have been using firefox since version 0.7 and have loved everything about it. Sure it has had bugs, but the open source community is known for fixes within hours, at most days. Kudos to the Mozilla foundation, they are finally showing Corporate big wigs that open source does not mean garbage. Although, 90% of it is, imho.
