Fixes some stuff, like memory leaks. Mine popped up to upgrade itself just about 5mins ago. Going to finish reading all my tabs and then update it.

That it is.. though I do not use the release builds as they are to old for me :p as i primarily use the Branch nightlies as I need stability over potential crashing etc in the unstable Trunk.

Anyways and yes the Firefox 1.5.0.1 version is for real. http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/releases/1.5.0.1.html
Further info at http://www.squarefree.com/burningedge/releases/1.5.0.1.html

Firefox 1.5.0.1 UA is for example Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060111 Firefox/1.5.0.1 so in a ways it has been out for a while.

I thought about picking up the 1.5.0.1 beta nightly builds a few times but never got around to it..

Nightly/beta builds are pretty safe if you are careful not to use your precious Release build profile with a nightly build so as to not corrupt the profile. Just install in a separate place with a separate profile made for that build with the profilemanager. The new updator nowdays makes this easier/quicker/lazier though :p

CY, mines working fine after the upgrade. Of course I had no issues with 1.5 before either.

This release fixes bugs. It doesn't add any new features or change things, so you probably would be safe with this one.
