I've removed Firefox 1.5 and gone back to version 1.0.7 mainly because the developers haven't caught up yet and so some 70% of the extensions don't work. There's a lot of comment on the Mozilla discussion lists about this. I think Firefox jumped the gun somewhat since it was originally announced that version 1.5 would be available some time in the early new year. I was quite surprised to discover that the beta version became the release version about a week later. I'm going to wait a few months until all of the extensions are available for such things as NetSnippets, Onfolio and EverNote. I don't use all three of these, but I'm in the process of reviewing Onfolio and not being able to use it with Firefox was becoming a pain.
