Indeed! looks good so far!

Got it earlier too... seems a lot quicker at rendering pages than 1.0 was. So far, I'm impressed - worth the upgrade

**Damien** · 30-11-2005, 00:16

I had the RC version, final is a bit better tho

**Chris** · 30-11-2005, 11:00

Waiting for the proper English version.

There is an en-GB version out now (as of yesterday by the date) - just when we've started waiting for 1.5.1 for the latest bug-fix! ;-(

Still, I suppose it'll update incrementally when it comes, rather than require a new download...

that incremental upgrade will be interesting to check out, I had problems going from 1.07 to 1.5 (both Eng-GB version), even after deleting all extensions it wouldn't even load in safe mode, eventually, I had to clear the profile and do a clean install, before it would work.

OK now, thankfully

Did you uninstall the previous version and delete the Firefox folder in Program Files before installing the new version, Gaz? That always sorts it for me.

1.5 onwards should update incrementally, anyway, so hopefully this will put an end to problems like this.

hopefully, Patrick, - I have a 'clean' install of 1.5 'english GB' , now, the anticipated upgrade to 1.5.1 will, I hope, 'follow on', but the delay between the US and the GB versions of 1.5 was a puzzle

Well I finally got round to installing this. It went flawlessly. And is it just me, or does it render pages a *lot* faster than 1.0.7?

ikthius · 16-12-2005, 16:46

my first couple of days did, then it crashed more often than I have ever had, so I am back to 1.0.7

Thunderbird 1.5RC2's out now. Click here for the en-GB version. Of course, if you've already got a pre-release T'bird 1.5 installed, it'll update incrementally if you have that enabled.

It's still just as sluggish as the very first public release of Firefox (for me at least)

patrickp · 22-12-2005, 13:23

I just upgraded to 10Mb yesterday (;-D) - it's more the time sites take to respond now than anything else. But before that, I would say too, 1.5 seems noticeably faster than 1.07. I presume you did a clean install, Bifta?

Bifta · 22-12-2005, 13:25

Yes, it was a clean install, Firefox tends to only last long enough on my PC for me to realise that there haven't been any improvements yet.

I still use Thunderbird though, have done for a few months now and I can't fault it.

patrickp · 22-12-2005, 13:31

Ho hum. ;-( Well, at least, as I said, T'bird's just updated.
