I also am using firefox-1.5 from mozilla.org, using the wiki
installation instructions.  One thing I like better than the ubuntu
version is the fact that I can now install extensions, which I believe
are disabled in ubuntu's build (allegedly for security reasons). 
After using them for a couple weeks, I think the javascript blocker,
pdf downloader, and fasterfox are essential.  I'm thinking of staying
with the mozilla versions in the future, since I prefer being able to
use these extensions.
