    Finally, they fixed the memory links, and a few other things.
    http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/releases/1.5.0.1.html

    Here's what's new in Firefox 1.5.0.1:

    * Improved stability.
    * Improved support for Mac OS X.
    * International Domain Name support for Iceland (.is) is now enabled.
    * Fixes for several memory leaks.
    * Several security enhancements.


    While on this topic I got a question...How do they figure out what version to set it as? Do they do it out of random or what? Like they have v.1.754.240 ..whats up with that? they just put random numbers and stuff...

    ok, the numbers.

    If it is a minor bug fix, it would go from 1.0 to 1.1

    If it's a major overhaul, they would go from 1.0 to 2.0

    every single company has their own numbering system, but most at least follow the above to an extent.

    edit: btw, thanks for the update, just upgraded.

    well, i don't think you'll notice any differences... It's just a minor bug fix, not like it's 2.0 or anything.

    yea i was just bored and wanted to psot it :P

    but its good for the people with weaker computers so it doesnt mess up their ram and such.

    edit: wait, mins at 54k ram usage, unless thats normal...at least it doesnt double with more tabs

    Nothing really new, just the bookmark all tabs, more stuff in tools and help and that's it.

    Looks nice though, I upgraded for sure, want to get on top of things these days :D
