Firefox 1.5 was recently made available. Here's a link to a columnist who knows a little more about the issues than I.

I've downloaded it for my mac. It appears to be faster, but it will not be my browser for visiting here since it retains its old quirk. Since I search here by the "view posts since last visit" link, having the link read that my last visit was now, even though it may actually have been three days ago, doesn't help me.

And check out some of the extensions. I especially recommend the adblock updater one and the flash blocker. I can't remember the last time I saw an ad.
"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”

Been using it on both machines for about a week now. I'm really happy with it, except.....When I ctrl+n to open a new window, it opens my homepage, not the page I'm browsing. Any idea how to fix this?

The mouse gestures extension has a command that opens an identical window as well as one that opens an identical tabbed page.
