Well the overall design haven’t changed much – actually the only thing I have noticed so far is that the layout of the “Options…” dialog now has the selectors on top instead of on the right. The display of web pages seems to render faster than in Firefox 1.0.7. Apart from this there are some smaller changes to the available preferences. Check out the release notes for information on all changes.
On the downside there are some extensions that doesn’t work with Firefox 1.5. Of the extensions I have installed the following doesn’t work with 1.5RC2:
- Live HTTP Headers
- Greasemonkey
- JavaScript debugger
The fact that the Live HTTP Headers extension doesn’t work could make me switch back since I use that one a lot in my daily work. As for the JavaScript debugger and Greasemonkey I might be able to live without them for the time being.
Apart from the extensions I have had no bad experiences with it so far so happy days…
