Firefox has been updated to 1.0.5 – the release notes are available here – they are not very comprehensive and basically simply say:
Here’s what’s new in Firefox 1.0.5:
- Several security fixes.
- Improvements to stability.
I hope this version is more stable than 1.0.4 – I found 1.0.4 to be a memory and processor hog to the point where I would have to force-quit it around once a week (really annoying when you have several windows open containing many tabs).
Tom:
I use the Firefox extension called Session Saver which saves your Firefox session exactly as you left it, even when it crashes. And, if you accidently close a tab, you can restore it and its history, etc. through the pulldown menus. Very handy!
Darren,
thanks a million for that – I have installed the plug-in now and hopefully I won’t need it (i.e. hopefully this version of Firefox will be more resilient!).
