What version of Firefox are you using?

In light of anxiousness about the backporting of the new Firefox 1.5, I'm just curious as to the community's rate of adoption...

A v1.5 backport would be awesome. I don't want to 'mess' with this installation; just using packages from the repos.

FF 1.5, installed following this HowTo. Works great!

[Perfect Storm]

None. I'm a epiphany user.

i use 1.5. my favorite theme, blackjapan, is only made for 1.5. also, i can't stand the old preference window.

Still waiting for 1.5 in the repos , for me there are only two ways of doing things :

A)The apt-get way

B)The wrong way

I followed that HowTo and all of a sudden my Flash stopped working. As a matter of fact, I haven't been able to get Flash working in Firefox 1.5 in Linux, Mac OS X, or Windows!

The HowTo worked great for removing 1.5, though.

1.5 here

It is snappier than the Ubuntu one... but it crashes more often. I personally have no problem with either flash or java, but that could be because the plugins are user-installed, and so are at mi ~/.mozilla (or whatever).

I see someone put a link to why FF1.5 won't be backported. You have all this explained by Jdong itself at this week's distrowatch weekly (at www.distrowatch.org ).

You can install any software you want and not "mess" with your Ubuntu installation.

Until I saw the howto mentioned in this thread I had installed Firefox in my home directory. I have a "~/bin" directory just for stuff like this.

You can screw it up royally and it won't effect anything installed from a .deb package (as long as you don't use "sudo" in any entry related to it (which there is no reason to).
