What's New in Firefox 1.5
Firefox 1.5 is the next version of our award-winning Web browser.
Here's what's new in Firefox 1.5:
* Automated update to streamline product upgrades. Notification of an
update is more prominent, and updates to Firefox may now be half a
megabyte or smaller. Updating extensions has also improved.
* Faster browser navigation with improvements to back and forward
button performance.
* Drag and drop reordering for browser tabs.
* Improvements to popup blocking.
* Clear Private Data feature provides an easy way to quickly remove
personal data through a menu item or keyboard shortcut.
* Answers.com is added to the search engine list.
* Improvements to product usability including descriptive error pages,
redesigned options menu, RSS discovery, and "Safe Mode" experience.
* Better accessibility including support for DHTML accessibility and
assistive technologies such as the Window-Eyes 5.5 beta screen reader
for Microsoft Windows. Screen readers read aloud all available
information in applications and documents or show the information on a
Braille display, enabling blind and visually impaired users to use
equivalent software functionality as their sighted peers.
* Report a broken Web site wizard to report Web sites that are not
working in Firefox.
* Better support for Mac OS X (10.2 and greater) including profile
migration from Safari and Mac Internet Explorer.
* New support for Web Standards including SVG, CSS 2 and CSS 3, and
JavaScript 1.6.
* Many security enhancements.

registration out of the installation step and into the INSTALL script.
Also, remove the registration commands from the PLIST as well. Putting
them into the INSTALL script allows for the same commands to be run
in the same way, so that there are fewer differences between installing
from source and installing from a binary package. Also, this makes
these packages pass CHECK_FILES=yes. Bump the PKGREVISION of firefox,
firefox-gtk1, mozilla, and mozilla-gtk2.
Also, include bsd.pkg.mk from the package Makefiles, not from within
Makefile.common. This is a style issue and allows for appending to
variables originally defined in Makefile.common from the package
Makefile.
