Mozilla Firefox 1.5 is the same as 1.5 RC3 Posted Nov 30, 2005 17:06 UTC (Wed) by jimwelch (guest, #178) [Link] This is in tune with their policy that RC versions don't show that they are RC. The upside is that the "final" release does not change AT ALL which means their is not chance that a new bug slips in just because they want to change the versions number!!
The downside is they "hide" what is the real version number on their website, so you can't check against an authoritative web site and what versioni you really have (rc1, rc2, rc3,...)
FYI: RC3=final="Gecko/20051111"
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051111 Firefox/1.5
Mozilla Firefox 1.5 is the same as 1.5 RC3 Posted Nov 30, 2005 17:33 UTC (Wed) by bk (guest, #25617) [Link] That's correct only for binary builds. Gentoo users (for instance) who use the mozilla-firefox ebuild will end up with a Gecko date string corresponding to the day they compiled the software. They'll also get an app that says "Deer Park" everywhere instead of "Mozilla Firefox" per moz.org's branding restrictions.
Mozilla Firefox 1.5 is the same as 1.5 RC3 Posted Nov 30, 2005 22:42 UTC (Wed) by job (guest, #670) [Link] It's actually mozilla.com now, as mozilla.org is being deprecated. Or at least the official home pages has moved, there's no further explanation out yet as far as I know.
Mozilla Firefox 1.5 is the same as 1.5 RC3 Posted Dec 5, 2005 12:53 UTC (Mon) by gerv (subscriber, #3376) [Link] mozilla.org is not being deprecated; it's just a separation of audiences. mozilla.com is the more end-user-facing site; mozilla.org will continue to be the home of Mozilla development.

Mozilla Firefox 1.5 is the same as 1.5 RC3 Posted Dec 1, 2005 16:53 UTC (Thu) by jimwelch (guest, #178) [Link] I wonder what string or value that extensions look at to determine compatability? Maybe this is the only way to tell what version you have??
I think Firefox needs to look at this problem in more detail.
