Firefox 1.5 support ending April 24
Published November 11th, 2006 in All Categories, Firefox
Users of Firefox 1.5 should plan to upgrade their browser by April 24 of next year at the very 
latest, according to Mozilla Corp. That’s because April 24 is the date developers plan to stop issuing security and stability fixes for the open-source browser, Mozilla said Wednesday in a note posted on the Mozilla.com Web site.
This notice was included in an alert advertising the latest upgrade to Mozilla 1.5. Released Tuesday, the 1.5.0.8 update includes three critical security fixes for the browser. Firefox users should already have begun receiving the software through the browser’s automatic update process.
The April 24, 2007, date means that Firefox 1.5 users are being given a six-month window to move over to the Firefox 2.0 browser, released last month. This is the same amount of time that Firefox 1.0 users were given before updates for that product ceased.
