This page lists the improvements in Firefox 1.5 Beta 2 over Firefox 1.5 Beta 1. Last updated October 6, 2005.

New browser features
235204 - Web Search (Ctrl+K, etc) should show a search dialog when search bar is disabled.
296827 - Dragging text into the Find text box does not enable search buttons or initiate search.
309860 - Dragging a URL to the tab strip should respect the Shift key (use Shift to control whether the new tab is selected immediately).
303279 - Safe Mode: Use "safe" localstore.
304403 - Safe Mode: Better UE.
283598 - [Mac] New .dmg artwork with diagrammatic instructions.
New web developer features
309242 - E4X should be on by default, while preserving the comment hiding hack. (Specify e4x=1 or JavaScript 1.6 if you want to include XML comment literals.)
302462 - Support :valid, :invalid, ut-of-range, and :in-range pseudo-classes.
84400 - Support :disabled and :enabled pseudo-classes.
New extension developer features
303727 - Supply a supported way to access the nsIEditor of HTML input/textarea.
310976 - Treat 1.5.* as 1.5.infinity.
Notable bug fixes
Fixes for several security holes.
Fixes for several software-update bugs, including several that prevented updates from working.
Web page rendering and interaction
300453 - 'Disable common annoyances' prevents focusing of designmode iframes. (Disallowing scripts from raising and lowering windows also prevents them from focusing frames. Also, sites like Gmail that focus iframes also focus the window even though they're not trying to.)
295074 - POST responses remain in the memory cache when using XMLHttpRequest.
Back/Forward cache (fastback)
305462 - "Clear Cache Now" doesn't clear bfcache.
292965 - Improve eviction algorithm for bfcache.
Windows-specific bugs
310957 - Switch Win32 SVG renderer from GDI+ to cairo. (This improves cross-platform consistency of SVG rendering and eliminates the requirement for Windows 98 users to download gdiplus.dll before they can see SVG content.)
Mac-specific bugs
171680 - [Mac] Modifier keys have no effect on mouse wheel.
309730 - [Mac] Tweak wheel+modifiers preferences on OS X.
255415 - [Mac] Scroll wheel doesn't work after selecting bookmark from toolbar until you move mouse.
307340 - [Mac] Disable "Full Screen" UI for 1.5.
266769 - [Mac] Parent window isn't movable / draggable when sheet is open.
Linux-specific bugs
287523 - [GTK] Insensitive (disabled) check/radio buttons can't be distinguished in some GTK themes.
