Has any one held off on upgrading to Firefox 1.5?

Ho humm... fox 1.5 seems faster than 1.07, but it's still a bloated pig. Opera feels better, but has issues with my java-based webbank and rendering on some sites. I'm back to running fox 1.5 though, scrapbook and adblock are features I really miss in Opera.

So, well, I'm running firefox 1.5. Just wish they would get their damn act together and fix up the speed and memory hogging issues.

I agree that Firefox is a large program that isn't particularly fast and clearly has a problem with memory management.

I hope the highly intelligent people who have donated so much time to Firefox so that we can use it for free will be able to resolve these issues.  I thank them for their efforts to date.

Another very interesting discussion of stability and memory problems with V1.5.  Apparently affecting a relatively small, but still significant, number of users.  Written by an industry guru, includes feedback from Mozilla.
