Of course now, many companies have to download Firefox in order to test their websites to ensure they are compatable with Firefox.

I bet the number is higher--I DL'ed it one time and put it on our company's internal server. All our developers are getting it from there...

Well...DUH! Most everyone running previous versions of Firefox are getting automatic notifications of the new version.
File this under "self-fulfilling prophesy".

It seemed to be loading fine for me, but I'm on a dialup and didn't want to wait for 6 megs. Closed the window and it was still loading. Closed the other FF window still opened (to the Freep), and it was still loading. You have to completely disconnect, and then an idiot box pops up about an illegal operation. I expected the cache to be dumped, as was always typical of FF crashes, but it wasn't.
With IE, you close the window and the downloading stops. Mozilla needs to get on the stick about that common sense fact.

That's hilarious.
And it worked fine for me on 1.5

Anyone else experiencing that problem? Apparently not :)
Sounds like something got futzed with the plugins - you may have to reinstall QT and WMP to correct it.

One thing I don't like about Firefox 1.5 is the fact a lot of the themes and extensions no longer work under the new version.
Updated themes and extensions are slow in coming, too.
To: RayChuang88
All of my extensions have been updated for 1.5

I bet the number is higher--I DL'ed it one time and put it on our company's internal server. All our developers are getting it from there...I did the same thing, along with some popular compatible extensions and themes. I also installed it on my laptop, desktop, wife's laptop and MIL's laptop.
The numbers are a great indication of its popularity nonetheless. I'd like to see them push bittorrent and emule distribution more.

Yeah, my Adblock is blocking the images but not eliminating the frames.
