1.5 was a piece of crap.

I installed it on all my machines and it would hog CPU time like nobody's business. Had to uninstall and go back to 1.07.

My love affair with Firefox is badly damaged. I don't trust what they're putting out anymore.

That makes two of us. Every single time Mozilla breaks wind it breaks extensions and themes, one of the features they beat their chest about. They're screwed up the themes and extensions site so that it's a pain to keep going back and finding and reloading it all. (Used to be you could select 50 items on a page, now it's at 10 only. Yawn....)

That sounds like an issue with your installation, not 1.5, especially given that there aren't many others complaining about such problems. Give 1.5.0.1 a try.

I'm using Firefox 1/5.0.1 on a seven year old computer, with Win98SE.
No problems running it.
I do note that if you are going to websites with a lot of graphics, Firefox 1.5.0.1 lags behind Internet Explorer. But that was true of all the 1.x versions as well.
You might want to check your computer to see if there is some other problem.

I was just going to mention that. Sometimes Firefox takes up to 40% cpu time and I have to close all instances.
