Firefox and Thunderbird 1.5.0.2 candidates available for testing

We have some 1.5.0.2 candidates available for testing - we would love it if you would take these for a test spin. Since we did not do a Thunderbird 1.5.0.1 release, the 1.5.0.2 release does contain a fair amount of bug fixes, so any extra eyes on that would be appreciated.

Firefox 1.5.0.2
Thunderbird 1.5.0.2

Here is where you can find the Mac Universal Binary builds: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/1.5.0.2-candidates/mac-universal/

If you are interested in querying Bugzilla to see the bugs that were fixed in these releases, we used the keywords "fixed1.8.0.2" or "verified1.8.0.2" to indicate bugs that were fixed in the release as well as bugs verified by the QA team.

As usual, check Bugzilla before you file any bugs, and feel free to post comments here.

It looks like the en-US Macintosh universal builds have a later datestamp than the other builds for that language.

I will look into the Mac UB build issue. Anyone out there who wants to help us test Mac UB, it would be greatly appreciated. Thunderbird in particular may need some extra investigation - see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=331511 for more information about my PPC profile that won't run under Rosetta. It would be great if other members of the community could try out their older profiles to see if they encounter the same issues.

Why are the firefox-1.5.0.2.en-US.win32.zip builds so old?

Sometimes when I copy text (control c or right clicking) I cannot paste it back into firefox, or outside in a different application. This behavior only happens with firefox, and I do not know what triggers it. It is annoying though. 1.5.0.2 has been a lot better than 1.5.x. I feel it is less buggy than 1.5.0.1 and could be released as is.
