Mozilla 官方在剛剛發佈了 Mozilla Firefox 1.5 RC 1, 距離 1.5 正式版推出的腳步又更近一步了。另外, RC 2 版預定在本月 11 日發佈。由於兩版時間相近, 因此正在用 1.5 Beta 2 版的人要不要更新就請自行決定了。至於一般較不急於嚐鮮的使用者, 就請等 1.5 正式版發佈再更新也不遲。
1.5 RC1 Release Notes:
- Automated update to streamline product upgrades. Notification of an update is more prominent, and updates to Firefox may now be half a megabyte or smaller. Updating extensions has also improved.
- Faster browser navigation with improvements to back and forward button performance.
- Drag and drop reordering for browser tabs.
- Improvements to popup blocking.
- Clear Private Data feature provides an easy way to quickly remove personal data through a menu item or keyboard shortcut.

- Improvements to product usability including descriptive error pages, redesigned options menu, RSS discovery, and “Safe Mode” experience.
- Better accessibility including support for DHTML accessibility and assistive technologies such as the Window-Eyes 5.5 beta screen reader for Microsoft Windows. Screen readers read aloud all available information in applications and documents or show the information on a Braille display, enabling blind and visually impaired users to use equivalent software functionality as their sighted peers.
