Firefox 1.5RC2 is out

[GhostWarrior25]

Dang already? I just installed RC1 the day it came out... I just looked at the ftp, and I dont think we are suppost to know about this... but oh well, their fault for posting it on their ftp :)

Still no installers in the directory, just update files. Its not out yet.

Almost the same thing, no .mar hassle though.

i have a question about extensions, i read before that althought previous extensions may not work on rc2, there is a way to force extensions to be capatible. can anyone please tell me the method in order to get this to work, because there are a few extensions that dont seem to ever update, but is necessary for me to run firefox with that id like to be part of my ff1.5 experience. thanks.

Thanks for the heads-up!

[Nimdock]

So did I, took less than 20 seconds to complete the update... Nice. :)

It's not the final 1.5, possibly RC2 though.

It's RC2. Look here ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/

[Viserov]

Their site still says 1.0.7.

[Rablet]

Check the photo. It's final.

RC1 said so in the about box. This doesn't.

[vassie]

Sure it's not RC2?

Mine only says 1.5, and it's not final

[Courage]

Download link ?

[b mitchell]

If I'm wrong, I'm sorry, but the about box doesn't say anything about it being RC2.

[Si Veteran]

Merged

[Markko]

Any sort of change log at all, or anything along those lines so I know whats new or different!?

[wutang01]

Screw that ... I'll just wait for the 1.5RC2 EXE or the 1.5Final :rolleyes:

[morebaker]

Well the .exe is on the ftp now.

All the hip kids are updating from RC1 to RC2.

update For those wondering why this is called Firefox 1.5 and not Firefox 1.5 RC2, it's because this is a genuine release candidate. The build you have, if not problems are found, will be Firefox 1.5. If we called it RC2 in the actual client, it wouldn't be a real release candidate because we'd have to make changes to the name and then create new builds.
