Did you log out and log back in after changing /etc/profile? This method has worked for me for years.

I went so far as to reboot the machine.

With Thomas' change back in place, log out, log in, and then see what the "whereis" command tells you about where Firefox is being found by typing: whereis firefox
The command: which firefox command can be informative sometimes, as well. Look to see if your personal ".profile" or ".bash_profile" contains a path that leads to the alternate (older) firefox executable.
Thanks, but this is no longer nessacary. After I changed the syslink it worked great. And to me, this seems to be the 'proper' method. All new users on the machine will get 1.5 when they command 'firefox'- no hacks.
