Firefox 1.5 final is NOT released yet.

http://majorgeeks.com/Mozilla_Firefox_d2248.html <-This is NOT the 1.5 final release.

The current reference release is still the Nov.7 Firefox 1.5 RC2 build. There are plans for a RC3 release as there were checkins after the Nov.7 Firefox 1.5 RC2 build.

The Branch nightly builds have been labelled as Firefox 1.5 since Oct.19, but does not make the Oct.19 build a Firefox release or anything like that.

When the actual 1.5 release is final, it will be posted at places like www.mozilla.org , the popular independent www.mozillazine.org or one of the developers blogs at http://planet.mozilla.org/ and http://feedhouse.mozillazine.org/

or at http://ftp-test.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/ as there is no /1.5/ yet.

Just got a little annoyed since websites like Neowin jumped the gun.

 

Well you can say that for any daily release since weeks. But doesnt really matter as long as it is not official. And the word is it is not final code http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/asa/ If you scroll down his page you can see he more or less hint RC2 could well become final code, unless... Ive also seen some Mozilla geeks saying final code would be shipped in few hours, last night. Like the one maintaining "Build" forum at Mozillazine, he should know but didnt. Why some went ahead and posted cause only few hours blah blah. Snowball effect.

Most likely of little importance but depends who you are. Some will not read advice on possible problems with old profile/extentions and who knows may be an evil bug has yet to be discovered and people will blaim you for false advertising, heh.

What will you call Firefox 1.5 RC3 when you put that on Will probably be announced at Mozilla.org today, seems to available on ftp-server.
