Firefox 1.05 Released

Posted by timothy on from the yay dept.

Zebbie writes "The Mozilla Foundation released Firefox 1.05 today. The release notes indicate that there have been some 'security fixes' and 'improvements to stability.' From the web site: 'Firefox 1.0.5 is a security update that is part of our ongoing program to provide a safe Internet experience for our customers. We recommend that all users upgrade to this latest version.' It is interesting that these security updates are not yet posted on the security advisories page."

  1. Disable IPv6 by Rafikichi · · Score: 4, Informative

    Goto about:config in Firefox. Set this string to true: network.dns.disableIPv6 I don't know why, but having IPv6 enabled slows down the broswer incredibly in Linux... but not on Windows. Turn it off and Firefox loads pages like the rest of 'em.
