I'm not using any extensions, but all my regular web sites and whatever else I do with FF works with this 1.5.0.1 update (on i386.)

However, I came across something that might be a bug in pkg_add(1). On a different -current box I attempted to upgrade Firefox with ``pkg_add -u''. Not deleting the original 1.5p3 package on the FTP server, this resulted in the following:

$ sudo pkg_add -u
[...]
Candidates for updating mozilla-firefox-1.5p3 -> mozilla-firefox-1.5p3 mozilla-firefox-1.5.0.1 Ambiguous: mozilla-firefox-1.5p3 could be mozilla-firefox-1.5.0.1 mozilla-firefox-1.5p3
[...]
Use of uninitialized value in join or string at /usr/sbin/pkg_add line 891.
Running the equivalent of pkg_add -r mozilla-1.7.12p9
$

The due update of mozilla did not attempt to start at all (it should at least have gotten to where it refuses to update due to potentially unsafe operations without -F update.) Considering the warning, I am however glad that it silently stopped. ;-)

After moving the mozilla-firefox-1.5p3 package out of the way, the update completed successfully with -F update. This issue might be relevant for -stable updates that bump entire version numbers in this manner as -release packages stay on the servers.
