Actually it's 1.0.7 . Mandrake just backported the various fixes. If you want 1.5 you can install it alongside 1.0.6. The way I do it is : Download it from http://www.mozilla.com and save it somewhere. Untar it : "tar zxvf <downloaded_file.tar.gz> This creates I new directory, called firefox. Become root adn cp that directory into /usr/local cd /usr/local/firefox ./firefox When firefox runs, shut it down and leave the root account. As a normal user, create a symbolic link, on your desktop to /usr/local/firefox/firefox Taht's all.
