A Better Web Experience
Firefox
1.5 has an intuitive interface and blocks viruses,
spyware, and popup ads. It delivers Web pages faster
than ever. And it’s easy to install and import your
favorites. Packed with useful features like tabbed
browsing, Live Bookmarks, and an integrated Search bar,
Firefox will change the way you experience the Web, for
the better.
Faster Browsing
Enjoy quick
page loading as you navigate back and forward in a
browsing session. Improvements to the engine that powers
Firefox deliver more accurate display of complex Web
sites, support for new Web standards, and better overall
performance.
Automatic Updates
The new Software
Update feature makes it easy to get the latest security
and feature updates to Firefox. Firefox automatically
downloads these small updates in the background and
prompts you when they are ready to be installed.
Tabbed Browsing
Use tabbed browsing to open
multiple Web pages in a single browser window, and
quickly flip back and forth. Drag and drop open tabs to
keep related pages together.
Improved Pop-up Blocking
Firefox’s built-in pop-up blocker has been
enhanced to block more unwanted pop-up and pop-under
ads.
Integrated Search
Tap into the power of the
Web’s most popular search engines with the built-in
Search bar, and easily add new engines.
Stronger
Security
Firefox keeps you more secure when you’re
browsing the Web, closing the door on spyware, worms,
and viruses. The Firefox community of developers and
security experts works around the clock to monitor
security issues and release updates to better protect
you dell.
Clear Private Data
Protect your
privacy with the new Clear Private Data tool. With a
single click, you can delete all personal data,
including browsing history, cookies, Web form entries
and passwords.
Live Bookmarks
Stay up to date
with your favorite Web sites and blogs. Use Live
Bookmarks that update themselves automatically with the
latest content from the Web.
Accessibility
Firefox 1.5 delivers easier navigation for everyone,
including those who are visually or motor-impaired.
Firefox is the first browser to support DHTML
accessibility, which, when enabled by Web authors,
allows rich Web applications to be read aloud. Users may
navigate with keystrokes rather than mouse clicks,
reducing the tabbing required to navigate documents such
as spreadsheets. Firefox 1.5 (Windows version) is also
the first browser to meet US federal government
requirements that software be easily accessible to users
with physical impairments.
Customize Firefox
Select new
button controls for your toolbars, install extensions to
add new features, or change the look of your browser
with themes - the way Firefox looks and works is under
your control.
Next Generation Web Support
Innovative new Web applications and services deliver
a richer Web experience. Support for open Web standards
in Firefox ensures you can get the most out of this
emerging class of Web-based tools.
