I’m writing this entry in the brand spankin’ new Firefox 1.5, released tonight, and so far, it is wonderful. Notable improvements include dragable tab reordering, automatic updating for Firefox as well as your extensions and themes (and of course, you can turn it off if you desire), re-organized preferences with some wonderful new options (I can finally have my download window automatically close when the download is complete), and "find" as soon as you start typing. They say there are some speed improvements and other goodies, so we’ll see if those are noticable as well. AdBlock and Chris Pedrick’s WebDev extensions are working file, thankfully.
So far, my only complaints are that it broke my Furl extension (hopefully that won’t take long to get fixed), and that clicking in the location field no longer automatically selects the entire url. That annoyed me to no end when I first switched from Safari, but now that I’ve gotten used to it, I love it. Guess it’s time to get un-used to it (unless I overlooked that in the preferences…) But that’s a pretty small complaint.
Toss in a brand new (to me, at least) Grapple theme, and I’m a happy man!
Spread the word!
Update 1: Furl has a bookmarklet which should keep me happy until the extension gets updated.
Update 2: I’ve had some weird behavior with pop-ups and contextual menus (right-clicks). Anyone else been having this?
