    There's a Slovenian version out but no proper English one? Madness.

    Comin at ya from 1.5
    It feels so...exactly the same. except they moved the menues around a bit.
    good thing I speak 'merkan :D
    And of course some of the plugins and things have to be redone and whatnot.

    but so far so good.

    :D 'Zactly the same here, though I've been using the latest (last I guess) beta for a while.

    Hmm, same as this one - maybe it updated itself without me noticing!

    RC3 is the same as the Final. Just had to check the build date against my copy as I wasn't sure if I had it or not. :)

    I've been using it since I saw it on /. a couple days ago. Adblock seems slightly out of whack (might be something that's combining with the filterset.g updater), but finally being able to drag and drop tabs is nice. I'd rather like the same for the bookmark toolbar but that's easy enough to manage.

    Maybe it is just me but Flash and Shockwave don't work.
    Downloading the installers from Macromedia's site takes forever and then gives an error as they end up as 0MB files.

    I don't like Tab Mix Plus, it doesn't do some of the things I like TBE to do.

    http://wiki.mozilla.org/L10n:Firefox_1.5_release_candidate_Status has been updated, so they are trying to get it out.

    It looks like it might have been something to do with someone not being sure whether the UK (or GB apparently) is in Europe or not. The only difference being that the Eu pages have a choice of languages.

    it's been updated again, showing it as 'passed', but it still hasn't actually come out.

    anyone know anyone who can push it through?

    Well, a week after the planned release day, the words "piss-up" and "brewery" come to mind. :wallbash:
    There is a GB version dated 7 Dec here, whether that is with or without the wrong links that appear to be the only block is unknown.

    ick! I'd much rather wait a little bit and get the non-Americanized version.
    To me, that matters.
