Firefox 1.5.0.1

Well I just got notified automatically by Firefox about the 1.5.0.1 update about an hour ago. It went very smoothly and I am honestly happy to see that. One of the things I didn’t like about Firefox 1.0 was that even though I could explain to people how to update it, show them when it was signaling it needed to be updated, or walk them through it once or twice, every time I visited those computers they were always out of date and potentially at a greater risk. These are the computers that need the monthly registry, services, hijack this cleaning. Now that it has the overly large “update me now!” screen that comes up I think most people will be able to catch on. I wonder how long it will before unscrupulous advertisers start making their ad look like the Firefox update screen.
