Download Latest Version of Firefox 1.5.0.4 Web Browser

June 2nd, 2006 | Filed under Firefox.

Well after my Firefox kept crashing after upgrading to Firefox 1.5.0.3 recently, I was keenly awaiting the release of the next stable version of Firefox. And now it is time to upgrade to Firefox 1.5.0.4

What is new? I checked the release notes. I cannot understand much, but probably if you are developer you might make sense of the technical jargon.

How to upgrade Firefox? You do not need to download the full firefox file of 5mb. Instead from the top bar, Click “Help”, then select “Check for Updates” and Firefox will download a small 500kb file. Restrart Firefox and get going!
