An Anonymous Reader writes: "The Firefox team has decided to scrap the planned 1.1 release (already in Alpha 2) and instead release the final version as 1.5 due to the significant number of bug fixes and changes. The 1.5 feature complete beta is expected next month." From the article: "We are planning for a Firefox 2.0 and 3.0, but will divide the planned work over (at this point) three major Milestones, 1.5 (September 2005), 2.0 (unscheduled) and 3.0 (unscheduled). All major development work will be done on the Mozilla trunk, and these releases will coincide with Gecko version revs."

YAY! More broken plug-ins! by qube99 · 2005-07-21 04:27 · Score: 0, Flamebait

I can't wait to upgrade to this, find out that half the plug-ins don't work and spend 2 hours trying to get 1.0.4 to work again.
I'm switching back to IE or the AOL Explorer if this keeps up.

I'd trust a Firefox version 0.X more than a MS version 10 any day!

Oh, but Sun didn't start that with Java. Their versions have been confusing since Solaris "8" (Solaris 2.8 with a SunOS 5.8 kernel)
