.- A common problem collapsing the URLbar popup on Windows has been fixed.
- Mozilla's view source now displays line and column numbers in the status bar.
- Mozilla has improved performance, stability, standards support and web compatibility.
Originally, Mozilla 1.5 was to be based on Firebird but the standard browser suite remained instead. Firebird is now expected to become the main browser around version 1.6.
The Mac Observer Spin:

This further refinement of the Mozilla application suite will provide a solid application for users while the Firebird transition is made.Observer Comments
