Firefox 1.5.0.2

[Alpha_toxic]

It looks like the new FF is out. It's not yet on the main page, but today it popped up here http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/1.5.0.2/
and looks pretty much official (no "rc" or "b" in the folder name).

Theres no need to actually download & compile the lastest version of Firefox. In the last version of Firefox they integrated automatic an automatic update feature in that instead of downloading and re-installing Firefox you just click "Update now" when the screen comes up to tell you a new version is out.

Some of my extensions didn't work with the new version but I used MR Tech Local Install extension to force them to be compatible.

Guys look at the change log, there is no point to upgrade.

You're probably right. It's mainly mac osx integration.

I'll wait for the package in the repos

Security fixes always make it worth upgrading imo and it will only take you a minute if you use Firefox's update engine.

I upgraded yesterday, apart from the security fixes, it seems to be running more stabley than 1.5.0.1 did.
