Firefox 1.5 has been released.

One year after the debut of Firefox 1.0, and more than 100 million downloads later, Mozilla has released Firefox 1.5, the latest version of its acclaimed open source Web browser, available here as a free download.

Firefox 1.5 builds upon the success of its predecessor to deliver an improved browser with significant performance and usability upgrades, security and privacy enhancements, 'best-in-class' support for Web standards, and better customization options.

Firefox 1.5 has been enhanced in several key areas and includes new "drag and drop" feature for tabbed browsing to help better organize page viewing, improved "pop-up blocker" that screens users from more unwanted pop-up ads, new "reference search engine" Answers.com included in the integrated Search box, improved "live bookmarks" feature to enable easier discovery of and subscribe to RSS feeds and improved "options" interface to make it easier to adjust browser settings.

Mozilla Firefox is a redesign of Mozilla's browser component, written using the XUL user interface language and designed to be cross-platform. It includes a popup blocker, tabbed browsing, a smarter search, hassle free downloading, and improved privacy and security.

You can download the new browser here.
