From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686 (x86_64); de-DE; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050922 Fedora/1.0.7-1.1.fc4 Firefox/1.0.7 Description of problem: Can we have a firefox 1.5 as an update for fc4 (updates-testing first of course). This is because FC5 will be out in Febuary (or even later) and I don't think that updating firefox to the next major version will break anything. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: look at the firxfox verions ( ...) Actual Results: 1.0.7 Expected Results: 1.5 Additional info:
I second the request.
I know this is a lot of work, but it'd be really super-nice to have for all of our users.
yes please
Aside from the features, the release notes list security enhancements.
1.0.7 on FC4 has errors with rendering tables that seem to be fixed in 1.5. This is important to me with a site I'm working on. While I can't promise the error will still be visible (the page changes by other people than myself) http://www.ghettogarage.net/Projects/93CobraMustang/ has three columns in a table with pictures (plus a blank column td entry added to try and fix this).. When you look at that with 1.0.7 the columns are sometimes too wide, sometimes too narrow, sometimes cut off, and sometimes just right. Pressing Reload on that page results in different, well, results each time (on 1.0.7). Again - upgraded to 1.5 firefox and this problem seems to be gone. I would like a proper package install to fix this.
Worth noting: Rhapsody.com crashed 1.5 on my testing, maybe 1.5 isn't really stable yet. Also, someone noted the site I was testing DOES render correctly, it just takes longer in 1.0.7 compared with 1.5. I'm taking back my request and am going to try and remove self from cc: list.

Is there a problem with plugin incompatibility?
(In reply to comment #7) > Is there a problem with plugin incompatibility? I think that the main problem can be cairo or, actually, lack of this package in FC-4 :/
Cairo isn't a problem. It can be built without.
FC4 reached EOL so maybe this bug should be closed as WONTFIX?
This report targets the FC3 or FC4 products, which have now been EOL'd. Could you please check that it still applies to a current Fedora release, and either update the target product or close it ? Thanks.
