This will result in fewer crashes improved security "Creating binary components to interface with the operating system or with other applications is fairly straightforward, though ultimately dangerous. Binary components have full access to the application and OS, and so can impact stability, security, and performance," Vladimir Vukecevic, Mozilla programmer said. Improved speed at loading pages Includes Personas, the rescanning add-on that's now being built in.

15. How do I install a newer version of Mozilla? First, uninstall Mozilla, as detailed for your operating system in the Mozilla 1.5 Release Notes, then install the new version. You should never install a new version of Mozilla over a previous one. If your plug-ins folder is inside the Mozilla application folder, you may wish to save it elsewhere beforehand so as to restore it after reinstalling. You can also keep your plug-ins folder in your profile. Go to Help | About Plug-ins to see the locations of the plug-ins Mozilla is currently using. Uninstalling Mozilla this way will leave your profile and your user preferences intact. You may lose access to some add-ins and have to reinstall them. If you have problems with a new installation of Mozilla, see the Troubleshooting Guide and the Getting Started Guide.
