RC3 is Firefox 1.5

If you're using Firefox 1.5 Release Candidate 3, congratulations: you have Firefox 1.5. The English (US) version of Firefox 1.5 is just Firefox 1.5 Release Candidate 3 with a renamed installer. Thanks for helping to test the release candidate. You can verify that you have Firefox 1.5 Release Candidate 3 (rather than an older release candidate) by selecting "About Mozilla Firefox" from the "Help" menu; you should see something ending with "Gecko/20051111 Firefox/1.5".

Update: changed links to point to 2005-10-25-19 instead of 2005-10-26-0x, because 2005-10-25-19 are the candidates for RC1. The two sets of builds should be the similar because there were only Camino-only checkins between them.
