download the latest Firefox (browser)
I recently spoke with a mac user who said she doesn't use Firefox. I mean, not only doesn't use, but hasn't even downloaded it! Well, you at least have to download & try it! :)Thing is she's on a mac, so at least she's using Safari... but even still for design and general usability purposes, I think it's key to have an alternative browser. And on the mac, specifically, one that is NOT i.e. (because they're no longer updating/maintaining i.e. for mac! and it's horrible!).
If you have/use Firefox currently, this is to alert you to the v.1.5 upgrade. It's an update that you should go download, as its upgrade checker won't notify you of the new release (or at least mine didn't).
Firefox is fantastic for a lot of reasons. Right now I've actually gone back to using Safari primarily, but I open up Firefox to do things I can't do in Safari almost every day. With this upgrade I might just switch back for awhile.
If you're on a PC though, you MUST download & start using it (IMHO). Experience tab browsing and a browser that actually supports the standards (HTML, CSS, XHTML, etc) SO well. If you're confused at all that - don't worry, just download it... it's FREE!
Also you'll be making all of us web developers happy because Firefox is actually delightfully correct and predictable, unlike some of the old/outdated browsers out there that small percentage of you are using and therefore cause the majority of us to still have to check them & tear our hair out as to why X problem isn't working. (again, i.e. is pretty horrible in this department, as well as any old netscape browsers - please get rid of those!!)
Thanks for the heads up, Justin!
