by Thomas Rutter

Firefox 1.5 is here, and available for all to download and use.

Many of you no doubt have tried out the Beta and Release Candidate builds. Here’s a list of things to do and see with Firefox 1.5.

  • When tabbed browsing, grab the tabs with your mouse and drag them to the order you want.
  • Press Ctrl+Shift+Delete to bring up the “Clear Private Data” window to clear private data such as history, cache and cookies.
