From mozillaZine:
Quote: Firefox 1.5 introduces several new features, including an improved software update system, faster Back / Forward page navigation, a new options to clear private browsing data, drag-and-drop reordering of browser tabs, a redesigned Options/Preferences window and more robust popup blocking. Standards support is also improved, with support for Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG), JavaScript 1.6 and additional CSS properties. Accessibility is much improved (including new DHTML accessibility features), security has been enhanced and Mac OS X support has also been improved.
I'm about to emerge the Gentoo package (they updated pretty quickly!). Can't wait for it...

There are loads of bugs in this update, especially for Flash sites. I'm going back to the previous version for now.

I tried the Gentoo FF source ebuild. That was utter rubbish. Firefox was unresponsive and laggy. Struggled on long pages and rendering the options dialog.
The binary ebuild was a lot better. The speed increase (especially back/forward navigation) is definitely noticeable. I've not yet seen any problems with Flash. The only issue I've had so far is a chrome registration failure error on first run, which hasn't affected much.
Edit: the discussion about long text in the user info box has been split.
