  1. If you have 1.5 RC1... by puppetman · · Score: 5, Informative

    It will automagically do the update (after asking you first). Mine did about 3 hours ago.

    My Help->About still says plain old 1.5, however.

      Mine didn't automatically do this, but a quick help->update and all sorted, thanks again Slashdot for keeping me up to date :)

  2. Please save Mozilla.org some bandwidth by Critical_ · · Score: 5, Informative

    If you're running RC1 already, the posted links have .MAR files available to perform an update without redownloading the entire binary. Windows users should be careful because .MAR is associated with Microsoft Access in Office 2003 (maybe earlier versions but this is all I checked with). Anyway, info on how to update with .MAR files is here:

  3. Does it fix the friggin' clipboard bug? by Maxmin · · Score: 5, Informative

    Under Windows XP, Firefox has become my browser of unchoice, because it's clipboard functionality is totally borked. I posted to bugzilla, and saw that about a million other people have too.

    Debunked, but still a common misconception.
