    1.5 is "Release Candidate 2" though, so isn't only just a beta version presently?

    [edit] Nevermind, answered my own question...

    This may not be the final release of our Web browser; it has been made available for testing purposes only, with no end-user support.

    Hi BC,

    So...Anandtech and major Geeks got it wrong... ...I took the quote " Final release version " to be just that...the final...eg. complete version...


    oh well...

    Eg, i just downloaded firefox from the link you posted above and once i downloaded it i got this msg: Note: Firefox 1.5 Beta 2 is NOT THE FINAL RELEASE VERSION of Firefox 1.5, it has been made available for testing purposes, with no end-user support. If you do not traditionally use beta software we recommend that you use the latest version of Firefox 1.0

    So i do believe its still in beta. just fyi
