If you're running any of the 1.5 release candidates you might have automatically downloaded the latest incremental update a while ago, and hit 1.5 proper.
I got updated to 1.5RC3 a few days ago (probably around when you submitted the article...) and tonight I got bumped up to 1.5. I think they must be releasing via the auto update first to stagger the release load...
Much faster, Plugins are updated, Source (Score:5, Informative)
Good work Mozilla. I can't wait to see the source to look if they cleaned it up yeat. Last time I built mozilla from scratch is was filled with switches which where not supported for ages (like native qt support).

Mozilla are doing thing The Right Way, which is rare these days. They even follow the proper definition of Alpha & Beta, which is even rarer.

1. Updates aren't counted
2. Download.com, Google, and other mirrors aren't counted
3. Bundled installations (IE with a Linux distribution) aren't counted.
4. Some single downloads are installed many times in offices etc.
5. FTP, apt-get, etc. aren't counted
Only people who go to mozilla.org and download from there are counted.

IE is downloading its stuff in windows temp folder. If you are unlucky and decided to save the file in another drive, at the end of the download it will move the file to wherever you wanted it. The move dialog then pops up and the selected button is... Cancel !!!
So if you happen to press Space or Enter at that time, you are in fact cancelling your download.
Just plain insane.

There isn't any serious disagreement over what the HTML spec says here. The reason it hasn't been fixed yet is that fixing it requires fixing bug 228673, which is in a fragile part of Mozilla's code (XUL layout) whose original authors have probably left the project. I see a patch and "[reflow-refactor]" in 228673, so it (and the tooltip problem it causes) will probably be fixed early in the Gecko 1.9 cycle for Firefox 3.0.
