^ That is a nightly build. Beta 1 will be released tomorrow, keep an eye on mozilla.org and/or mozillazine.org front pages for links when the beta 1 is avaiable.

Hmmm not according to a link on here... The installer said "v1.5 beta 1" the about says "v1.5 beta 1" there is Firefox branding...?!?!

@ Stew Gilray: this is not a patch for native theme rendering which you describe, its merely a half-assed hack to band-aid the real bug, which is not supporting native theme rendering.

Becuase they flip the branding swicth a few days before the release to make sure flipping the switch doesn't break anything.

Unfortunatly, a load of people think it's the real beta.

The beta 1 release candidates are out, beta 1 might still come out today but we had another respin because of addidition fixes that went in last minute. But for now there are some release candidates out. Let me repeat this again, these are NOT beta 1!

I brought up about the ugly changes to the UI yesterday, please Sign this petition to get this half-arsed band-aid patch pulled, this ban-aid was put into place to try and make you think Firefox has Native theme rendering when in fact it does, and this patch makes all themes look like crap unless you are using Luna...and most people see aren't on XP or even use Luna if they do use XP. Thanks.

If you guys have just recently downloaded Firefox 1.5 beta 1, use a branch or trunk nightly build and you hate the way the new menus look...this extension is for you. Thanks to a bunch of folks over on mozillazine.org forums, we have put together this extension to bring back the classic menus, this is especially nice for all the Windows 2000 and below users and users of XP non-luna themes.

Download link

If the link isn't working copy and paste the link into the browser and hit enter. For some reason the link isn't triggering the install notification for me on neowin but does on other sites!?

I tried the 1.5 beta and most of my extensions wouldn't load, not even the Google bar. I understand that this is a deliberate mechanism to ensure extensions are both compatible and known to be compatible, but it leaves me unable to do any of the things I really want to test. Is there no way to force loading of extensions for testing even if they don't have the right version info?

Is there any easy fix to get all extensions working without tedious editing?

The freeze for Firefox 1.5 beta 2 (ver 1.4.1) is tonight with an expected released for tomorrow (10/5/05) afternoon/night. I can almost guarantee that there will be links flying around tonight saying its the beta but it isn't...just remember to download only from mozilla.org and make sure the link has a releases folder, that is only way to make sure it is legit.

I've this problem which I'm unable to open links from other softwares. Example, my friend gives me a link in MSN Messenger and when I click it, nothing happens at all. Mozilla doesn't load. Is this the browser's problem or my computer's problem? I'm using Firefox 1.5 Beta 1. Thanks. :)

Only bugfixes which there have been roughly 500 of. Beta one was the last release to include news features.

not to mention the now ugly ass menus because the devs wanted firefox to look better on luna then the windows oses with classic menus. win2k->95 This will be fixed in 2.0 where firefox will actually render themes

Adblock will not work even if you do bump the version because there was a bug fixed in firefox code and it therefore broke adblock since it used the bug to do whatever. So adblock wont work until that is fixed. The bug in adblock will show the alt text for all images instead of the image unless you hover over the image.
