Firefox 1.5

has been officially released, my older version of Firefox notified me and downloaded

the update by itself.  To be honest there

isn’t much difference to previous versions in a day to day use, however there

are some problems…  Since the update my

notebook has inexplicably crashed, and quite often slows down considerably.  It took me a little while to attribute these

problems to Firefox, it was only

while trying to track back and see what may have changed that I realised it

could be Firefox.  Reading the support forums and newsgroups it

seems many others are having similar problems—If you are using the previous

version without problems then I wouldn’t bother upgrading just yet!
