The first two work. Not sure about the last.

Is this build the same as RC3? For 1.5, they ended up making RC3 the final release.

I don't understand how you guys can use such a slow browser.

Extensions are cool and all, but I just can't deal with how slow it is and how much memory it uses. It's too bad they don't make a plugin that lets you use the opera engine to render the page in FF, like they do for IE.

DLed it and I like the spell checker idea. but dont like the close tab button in each tab. It takes up space. Middle button close is good enough for me!

SLOW!?!?!? In my experience, FF is MUCH faster. Pages load quicker, the program itself opens faster, etc.

FF is so much faster than IE,i can get to a website even before i type the address.

if you'd rather cache it to your harddrive you can have it do so

Without it caching to my HDD, and with a few tabs open and browsing for the last 2 hours with it. I'm at 35K memory usage. Not too shabby

I would be at about 400MB by then...

They finally fixed the memory leak? That's the one reason I was an opera guy for a LONG time...

How come this isn't on http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/ ? I just downloaded Fx for my sister, and I received 1.5.7 I hate that they have to delay it by a couple of days because that's when the releases come out.

There must be a reason why.

Tab mix works, but you have to download it from the guy's site...go find it in extensions and he has a link...

How do you do that?

Looks good, runs fast, RAM is cheap. Thanks, OP!

 

[Homerboy]

just dloaded and installed

The spell check feature is cool. Now when I type something on here, Firefox highlights misspelled words. Right click it and get a suggestion. That my first new cool feature that I bumped into.

 

[Finality]

Looks better than previous versions though I still like IE7 a bit better, besides that its crashed twice for me so far in the space of 4 hours

Don't know if you can call it a crash but when I close the browser completely it wont launch a new Firefox I have to end task it.

Did they fix the problem with flash player? I've tried the suggestions on the Mozilla knowledge base to fix the problem, but yet whenever i go to a flash player website such as youtube, Firefox crashes. it's becoming a annoying problem.

Nice, it runs very quickly and the spell checking is great.

I never understood why this feature was not implemented earlier!
