Still displaying CSS the same way. I haven\'t noticed anything incredibly different other than a web site that I can call unspectacular... anyone else see anything new?

I haven\'t seen real specifics, but per http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/releases/1.5.html they are claiming improvements allaround. Doesnt look like anything revolutionary tho. Drag and drop reordering for browser tabs seems pretty neat and their focus on improving assistive technologies is impressive.

Better accessibility including support for DHTML accessibility and assistive technologies such as the Window-Eyes 5.5 beta screen reader for Microsoft Windows. Screen readers read aloud all available information in applications and documents or show the information on a Braille display, enabling blind and visually impaired users to use equivalent software functionality as their sighted peers.

I agree it\'s easier to download, I just don\'t see anything in the browser itself. The options seem to be a little easier to get to and understand but other than that the way it renders looks EXACTLY the same.

Yes, many of the improvements are asthetical. Overall the browser feels and looks nicer. While I can\'t tell a difference between 1.0.x and 1.5, I *think* that 1.5 seems alot more stable.
