The 1.5 beta version is not the current release. The current version/release is 1.4. The website clearly states the 1.5 is in a testing stage. Thus if you download/install the same you are agreeing to be a beta tester.
Furthermore most people surfing the net do not run out to upgrade their hardware/software the minute a new one comes along. You should avail yourself of the information that can be queried from people visitng your site[s] and/or sending you email. I know I do and susrprisingly a large number of people are still running Win98.
As a result state of the art programming in websites often turns away/off a large percentage of surfers who:
- Dont feel like installing a plugin at the moment.
- Dont feel like upgrading their browser at the moment.
- May not know how to do either.
- May be surfing on a system where they do not have rights to install necessary software/plugins eg: from work.
- May not be able to afford necessary to upgrades to their hardware/software.
- May be unwilling to spend the money to upgrade their hardware/software simply because they see the internet as something they rarely surf.
Last but not least remember that it is better to be thought a fool then to open your mouth and remove all doubt!

The only thing I can conclude from your statement is that Mozilla is indeed still too buggy too use, as I stated also. Version 1.4 is perhaps more stable than the 1.5 beta version, but it is also an older version and hence contains less improvements. Is that what you were trying to say?
