Firefox 1.5.0.1 Build ID: 2006011113

Like Jesper, it's the latest greatest.

I'll never go back to IE.

Plus it's nice to eat away at IE's market share.

This Firefox is bullsh*t in quiet a few ways. The way it doesn't resize video, or how it just refuses to properly display some very big websites (like eurosport) sometimes, it very mind boggling, given how long it has been around. I keep using it out of habit, but I think it has flaws as well, and trashing IE has become very much cliche, often by people who can't even distinguish objectively and go by 'general opinion'.

I use version 1.5.0.1. When I had 1.5 I had a very annoying memory leak when trying to use Adblock. Every page I would visit would increase the memory usage. One time I wondered why it started to lag. I opened the Ctrl + Alt + Delete menu and saw Firefox using over 300MB! I investigated the issue and found Adblock to be the problem. I waited, hoping, for a new Firefox release. When it finally came, I decided to see what was new. It said something about fixing some memory leaks. I was hopeful, yet doubtful. I installed the newest version, then redownloaded Adblock. Been running 1.5.0.1 for a while now with no ill effects. I'm happy.
