Firefox 1.5 has been out since November 29, 2005, and has reviews around the Internet. In fact, some recommend holding off, at least temporarily on installing it.

After installing and using Firefox 1.5 through the betas folks had no trouble, but somewhere early in the Release Candidates people began to encounter problems. And this isn't one or two alone.

Some of the more dramatic problems have included damaged Firefox profiles and loss of right-button context menus, but the more common issues by far have to do with CPU and/or memory usage.

Take a look at this screenshot...

i do think the memory usage thing is true, but this i think is an extreme case
