You might be right Doc, you might be right.

I just downloaded and installed ff 1.5 - all my themes immediately got "un-supported" ...

The other thing is, one of my favor "features" from the previous versions got "broke" ... one used to be able to have a proxy-server defined (for example, your work proxy) but when using ff from home, ff used to still work correctly directly connected to the internet (didn't have to twiddle the setting) ... this no worky no more. oh well.
