How come it's not up on Mozilla's site yet?

Installs just fine. Seems a bit speedier...options look very similar to original.

BTW, this is RC3 (release candidate).

Yea, this isn't 1.5 Final it is only RC3. Everybody seems to have a problem with that.

Are you sure? I can't find any hint on RC3 - not even in the "about mozilla firefox" box.... The RC3 has an own folder, with an even older timestamp.

I guess this is indeed the 1.5 release.

The MD5sum of the RC3 release and "final" release are identitical.

Yes, but mozilla.org now has a re-direct to mozilla.com, where they have an official 1.5 release up. Yay!

I really, really like the new click and drag tab placement feature. Now, even if I open the tabs at different times, I can still catagorize. It's beautifull!

Title confused me. I was getting a little anxious in thinking it was the final release of Firefox period.

"faster back and forward browsing" .... sounds good to me!

Yeah I guess it improved but Opera is still faster when going back or forth. I find a seconded or two lag when you click either button, Opera does it instantly. But is still like Firefox

Whoa, did Firefox get smaller? The RC 3 version was 5mb's and the final is 4.7mbs.

There was an extension called mini-T that did exactly what is now included. In fact, I think I read somewhere the Mozilla team implemented the code. It has the same little icon, anyway. The one problem mini-T had was if you tried dragging a tab to the first position (extreme left), it often crashed. Now that it's in the main code, it doesn't seem to have this problem.

On extensions, anyone else finding their favorites aren't compatible? I've only had a few that didn't work; TinyURL Creator, SpoofStick, Flipper, and FireFTP. Of those, the only one I really use a lot is TinyURL. Hopefully there's an update for it soon.

Ok I take it back. The new version now seems faster when going back and forth.
