Firefox 1.5 Revisited
There are a couple of reports on the Internet that version 1.5 of the popular Internet Explorer replacement Firefox has been released.
Not quite so. What people are seeing is actually 1.5RC2, which has been made available yesterday. However, the name of the product, as shown in the internal update dialog of 1.5(,RC1) is indeed "1.5", which could suggest that the final version has been released. Being a kind of "final" release candidate, the developers have decided to call this product "1.5" and if no bugs are found, the binary itself will become 1.5 Release. Otherwise, RC3 will appear, again, dubbed "1.5".
And while at it, it's worth noting that somebody has gone the lengths of writing a book on why IE is bad for you and why you need to put it away for Firefox:
The book can be purchased from the Mozilla Store along with other cool Firefox (and Thunderbird) merchandise.
