Version 1.5.0.1 is what I find on the official page.

http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/

Your link leads to the download from an Oregon State University server. I checked other sites that carry Firefox, and they all have the 1.5.0.1 version.

When I check for updates, I get a pop up that tells me that my 1.5.0.1 is the most current version.

Why is the zip installer file almost 2GB larger than the standard installer?

I believe, the installer is compressed using 7-Zip, where the Zip build is just plain old ZIP.

I am unable to find a new update via the tools/extensions I have. Also have not seen posts on it the Mozilla form at DSLReports. Those guys talk about FF updates before they hit the streets.

from:
developer news

Quote:
Code Freeze for 1.5.0.2 is this Monday - Feb 20. This freeze will allow enough time for bug verification, release engineering, and public testing to ship the update in early April. This includes both Firefox and Thunderbird as we will be releasing a TBird 1.5.0.2/FF 1.5.0.2 from the same codebase.


Maybe this is the "public testing" mentioned in quote.

How's it working, whats new, any problems?

"Yes, the subject should be updated to show that this is not a Release version of Firefox."

I'll wait.

I like to confirm that there are no problems with my favorite extenseions before upgrading.

I know that firefox now checks the compatiability of extensions before installing but there are a few I just don't want to be without. They are popular and well supported so I know they would be upgraded soon if there is a problem.

So I'll wait also.
