Firefox and Thunderbird 1.5 Betas
The Mozilla Foundation annouced beta releases of its Firefox and Thunderbird software this week. If you’d like to help iron out bugs or just prefer to be on the bleeding edge when it comes to browsing and email, you can get the new betas here:
N.B. Firefox 1.5 Beta 1 is actually a later version of Deer Park Alpha 2, for some reason the Mozilla team can’t understand the concept of having a consistent naming scheme that doesn’t change every five minutes (instead of calling the alpha build Firefox 1.5 alpha, which would make so much more sense).
Anyway, I’ve tried both beta products and they haven’t caused me any problems yet. Thunderbird seems to be gradually improving, not too sure whether any enhancements have been made to Firefox but it claims better stability on OS X which I shall have to try out once I get my Powerbook back from the repair centre. As with all beta products, don’t try these out in a production environment unless you’re prepared to accept a higher risk of problems arising.
