The future of Firefox - Updated!

According to several sites and blogs, Mozilla Firefox 1.5 should be released to day. I've been using the betas and the release candidates for quite a while and I must say it is a really nice upgrade from Firefox 1.0.x. It's faster, uses less memory (even though it still uses quite a bit), the popup blocking have been improved and the update system has been completely revamped (was needed too!). Furthermore the engine has been seriously improved.

So, what is in the plans for Firefox after 1.5 is released? According to this blog post, we should get new releases every 6-9 months and they are very focused on fixing security bugs as fast as possible if/when they are found (and as everyone knows, there WILL be bugs).

If you haven't tried out Firefox yet, you owe yourself to try it out.
