My previous version is 1.0.7 .............. not 1.4 ???

1.4 was the beta version of 1.5. You should be able to simply upgrade from 1.0.x to 1.5.

However, this is not the English/British version yet. Nor are many of the extensions supported yet.

Non-US languages of FF 1.5 are available from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html

The newest version of the Google toolbar works Ok with 1.5. Spellbound also is supposed to work, but I was told that I may need to reinstall Spellbound in 1.5 to have it working correctly.

No British version yet. Danish? yes; Dutch? yes; French and Hebrew yes. British? NO :mad:

I am just curious: what is the difference between the US and British Firefox? I know there are many differences between British and American English, but a browser...? :blink:

The US version incorporates proper English. It is then modified to make the British version. The modification includes improperly spelling of many words....that is why the British version takes some time for it's release. :rolleyes: :D :flowers:

Well I disagree as we have the correct spelling :rolleyes:

One word that irritates me when I see it is the word color which should be colour!

How on earth can something be modified from proper English to make a British version? I don't know of a language called PROPER English. I know of English, or bastardised versions such as American English, Australian English etc etc.

I agree!! color just seems wrong.. same with neighbor; which should be neighbour.

As for US having the "proper" version of english... I, as well as millions of other people know the Brittish have been speaking english MUCH longer than US or even Canada......

If you really want to get into "proper" versions of english, check out this site - http://www.engrish.com/ :D

P.S. There has NEVER been a EN-CA release of Firefox..... I am FORCED to use EN-US... :ranting:

I think DW was just pulling our leg.

Not the topic to discuss the English language and all it's spellings...

Thank You! :)
