    Ironically, most of us figure out what the differences are, THEN we download it. ;)

    I downloaded and started using it Tuesday. I haven't really checked to see what the differences are. I guess it is more stable and a little faster. There was probably an extension that did this before, but now I think 1.5 also allows you to drag and move the tabs (think this is the first time it lets you do that). There’s a few changes to the menu selections and options, but they’re basically the same from what I could tell at a glance. Seems like just a few small things to improve performance, although I admit I haven't really tried to figure out everything that is new.

    thanks for the heads up, firefox has been a lil glitchy in the past few months for me. Especially when shutting down and the ghost firefox.

    God damn, you guys are lazy. Is it too much to ask to enter "mozilla.org" into your browser?

    Ok, I downloaded it and installed it and now the scroll bar on the left is gone. I checked the options and all the option in my extensions, but can't find anything about it. :confused:

    Any ideas?

    From what I've read, there are two extensions that make 1.5 rock.

    * foXpose - some click and you get to look at all of your tab windows at once?
    * some other extension that allows you to get a preview of your other tabs by hovering over them.

    Check the extensions library. That's all I got - for those who are using it, any bugs? I'm afraid to switch over and have issues... though I'd wait for 1.5.1...

    I use and am very happy with Opera.

    Firefox is good too.

    Just installed it. Kind of a little bit slower.
