Update to version 1.5

performance.
- Drag and drop reordering for browser tabs.
- Improvements to popup blocking.

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.

working in Firefox.

migration from Safari and Mac Internet Explorer.
