Another new Firefox

May 3rd, 2006 · 3 Comments

Version 1.5.0.3 has been released, less than 2 weeks after 1.5.0.2. Nothing major, just a security fix (which I guess is really pretty major).

If you have automatic updates turned on, it will happen automatically, though you will have to restart Firefox to finalize the update.

If you don’t have automatic updates turned on, you can get it by selecting “Help”, “Check for Updates”.

Note that the update doesn’t completely replace your existing Firefox implementation; it just updates a few necessary files, so it’s fast and easy.

    I updated both my main Firefox and my Portable Firefox earlier today. Although it’s an extremely minor update, I’m pleased with how fast and how effeciently updates are sent. It was only a 230 KB file rather than having to reinstall or even update a 5 MB one.

    Daryl, do you know Wom, or did you get spammed for the first time?

    I do not know Wom, but the post is obviously not spam; it’s relevant to the topic and is not selling anything.

    All such posts are welcome.
