The autoupdate for the British English version of Firefox doesn't include v1.5.
I think this also applies to the US version (https://update.mozilla.org/update/firefox/en-US.rdf?)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use Firefox <1.5
2. Do not get alerted that a new version is available.
3. Be open to security risks fixed by 1.5




I have marked this as major due to the security implications and the ease of fixing.
The en-GB version took a long time to be ready, but it's now mentioned on <http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html>
It is mentioned on the web-site but the automatic updating system does not mention it.
Therefore an end user who never visits the Mozilla web site, will not know about the new version.
AFAIK this applies to the US version too.
