Actually it's 1.0.7 . Mandrake just backported the various fixes.
If you want 1.5 you can install it alongside 1.0.6. The way I do it
is :
Download it from http://www.mozilla.com and save it somewhere.
Untar it : "tar zxvf <downloaded_file.tar.gz>
This creates I new directory, called firefox.
Become root adn cp that directory into /usr/local
cd /usr/local/firefox
./firefox
When firefox runs, shut it down and leave the root account.
As a normal user, create a symbolic link, on your desktop to
/usr/local/firefox/firefox
Taht's all.

Will this work with a x86_64 system?
I can't see why not. Please try it, can't do any harm...
Kaj Haulrich.
Just did. It works great. Can't get the java plugin to work with either
version. It looks in the right place, says no such file or director, but
it is there. Any ideas on that?
Sure. In the /usr/local/firefox/plugins become root and :
ln -s /usr/lib/jdk-1.4.2_09/jre/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so
(all on one line). If your java runtime environment location is elsewhere,
edit accordingly. Exit the root shell and restart firefox. If you have
other browsers, like opera, proceed likewise. In any case, you should have
this symbolic link in the /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins directory as well in order
to enable java in konqueror, Epiphany, OpenOffice, etc....

Ok, did that. Now it's looking for this
file: /usr/lib/i386/libjavaplugin_nscp.so which doesn't exist. Sites
which need the java plugin work with konqueror.
Huh ...? I don't get it. That libjavaplugin_nscp.so is unknown to me
(and to my firefox).
A suggestion : as root : updatedb. Then : locate libjavaplugin_nscp.so
and get the location (if it exists). Or use konqueror settings to dig
down to the correct plugin.
