Mozilla官方日前又正式釋出了公開版本的Firefox 1.5 RC3,這次的版號是1115 build,RC2是1107build,主要更新部分是自動更新程式相關的bug,建議Firefox用戶更新。根據官方的表示,如果沒有意外,這應該是最後一個1.5正式版前的測試,很快的,Firefox 1.5正式版就會推出了。
如果碰到有擴充套件不相容的,除了更新擴充套件外,也可以安裝Nightly Test tools去強制把不相容的套件設定可運作。
另外,也建議Firefox用戶安裝IE Tab 1.0.6.2擴充套件,這讓你可以瀏覽只能供IE瀏覽器閱讀的頁面(如WindowsUpdate、線上掃毒或一些購物網站),而不需要另開IE的程式。
