1.5 Release is terrible for me.
Had it crash a couple of times, and now i've found the best bug for it 
Somehow the tabs just "freeze" but the application is still responsive in other ways, I can still click on the news RSS feed in the toolbar and it will display(but will not go anywhere)
Great release guys.
The beta was more stable than this.

Not that i know of (or care), yes (a lot of them are spyware
), and not any more or less than any other browser if you use your brain.

Yup. Well, actually, Windows has themes, and IE is part of Windows.

I can always make firefox crash by using the back button on the mouse.
Every day it will die at least once because of this.

You have a "back" button on your mouse?
I typically use Alt+Left Arrow and have no problem with Firefox. How does the back button on your mouse work?

Well the thumb button, works in IE, and it works in firefox. only it will crash firefox daily, usually if I use it as a page is loading, before it completes.

If you have a problem with Firefox fix it yourself, it is open source software after alll....

"Global Hotkeys" (aka "Multimedia Keys" aka "Internet Navigation Keys" aren't limited to the keyboard, mice and other periphials can have them too.
My Mx700 mouse has both back and forward buttons (but they're unbound right now because I keep on hitting them by accident).

What mouse do you use? It does sound like a Firefox bug. Have you submitted a bug report?

Yup, i'll just open a massively complex and unfamiliar code base and go track down the bug(s) and fix them

Surely that can't be the case or there would be next to no point being open source.... I mean if nobody was technically competent enough to make changes in the Linux kernel or any other large OSS project then what, if anything IS the point? And how can you guarantee the code is secure if only those that wrote it, and a handful of others were able to find insecurities?? -

Yes, and crash reports. And I no longer give a flying fudge about it.

Same way you guarantee the code is secure for a closed-source product (review at time-of-checkin)
The advantage of open source is that bugs are easier to find with more eyeballs looking for them.

Firefox still can't handle extensions on a local user account. They just don't show up, or in the worst case the entire UI locks up and doesn't work.
Until they fix this, I'm quite happy with IE7 beta.
