Firefox 1.5

If you haven't heard already, Firefox 1.5 is out.

So, I upgraded from 1.0 to 1.5. Overall, the upgrade was very smooth. But, you do have to be aware of the extensions. More specifically, not all 1.0 extensions will run on 1.5. In my own experience, I had 10 extensions on Firefox 1.0. Eight of them runs on 1.5 when I did the upgrade(the 2 that did not upgrade marked in Red).

• DOM Inspector
  
• Paste & Go
  
• Ad Block
  
• Linkification
  
• In form Enter
  
• IE View
  
• Tab Browser Preferences
  
• Tab Mix Plus
  
• Nuke Anything Enhanced 0.51
  
• LeechGet Mozilla Menu Extension 0.6.1
  
  

The upgrade program will actually warn you about the extensions that won't upgrade. It would just mark them but not delete them from the list. That is good because a couple of weeks later, I revisited the list, and noticed that an upgrade is available for LeechGet Mozillan Menu Extension (0.7.1), and lo and behold, it does support Firefox release 1.5.

9 out of 10 is pretty good. But if you absolutely cannot live without certain extension, just make sure that it supports 1.5 before you do the upgrade.
