Oh, Firefox 1.5 has hit mirrors. http://www.mozilla.org/mirrors.html

I wonder how many Opera users it will reclaim?

Wow, hehe i like the new feel of the website.

Anyhow, as for the browser... Its good Very Happy

I like the new improvements.. excecpt for the fact that when you download many things at a time, firefox browsing speed drops alot... I mean sometimes you can't even access pages XD (at least for me Sad

, and I'm on ADSL...3 or 4 mbps i think)

Stop rubbing it in! Just wait until you get back to waterloo with crappy speeds... then who'll be laughing!

It does seem a bit faster Smile

... Changed the GUI they use minorly (at least for Windows), and the image that shows when you are loading an image.

Have the [code][/code] tags been changed? Or has the font used there also been changed in Firefox?
Great new changes, lots of conveniences added

The biggest change I've noticed is that the 404 error page has changed and that the options menu has a different layout. And is it just me or have they removed dictionary.com from the searchengine list?

Martin · **Posted:** Sun Dec 04, 2005 9:03 am

Changed it to about.com ... I imagine this was google's call.

Damn, that sucks - I spent an hour yesterday looking for a fix, but nothing. I hate these other dictionaries, so slow, and hard to use Mad

No big deal, it's just one click away from here: http://mycroft.mozdev.org/quick/dictionary.com.html

The top one, press the link, and Firefox will automatically install the search plugin for you.

I missed the fox Smile

I really like answers.com (which I think 1.5 now includes). Definitions, Thesaurus, and even articles from Wikipedia and other sources. Pretty nifty, all-in-one definition tool.

Thanks Hikaru! Answers.com seems good too, haven't tryed it before... Guess I'll have it in reserve.
