I don't know but it did it for me as well. Still I've installed it!

Well that is just bizarre.
I fixed it.

PS Microsoft security update behavior perhaps?
With an emphasis on Microsoft's security?
I had not been to their site.

PPS I seems faster than 1.07

How did that get in there, and what does it mean?
And why does it take you to MS?

Seems I already have 1.5, since 1.5 beta 2 firefox has been updating itself automaticaly.
I think I must of got last week, rc3 must have been gold

1.5 final is exactly 1.5rc3. Right down to the identifier strings and file hashes, total match.

Also installed it. It did cause a couple of addins to stop working (was detected during installation, they were disabled, I uninstalled them now).

Any thoughts on when Thunderbird 1.5 might come?

Is any of you either using Mozilla Calendar or Mozilla Sunbird?
We would love to use a system like Microsoft Exchange (calendar features, esp. shared calendar), but we would like to avoid Microsoft (number of reasons: cost, our servers run Linux and our Sysadmin has much more Linux experience). When I downloaded Firefox 1.5, I came across Sunbird, which basically is a standalone application compatible with Mozilla Calendar. OK, it still is in early beta, but any thoughts on it?
Do you need to install other stuff (apart from webdav) or configure mailservers differently?
