Security > Stability when it comes to web browsers and i wonder if 1.5 is more secure than 2.14. i wonder when 1.x will not have security patches anymore. rh must document that somewhere and i will have to find it.

That is probably the reason for the new version. Most of the time RedHat only issues new versions when backporting becomes difficult/impossible. They are almost as protective as Debian has been. A web browser crashing on a distro originally designed for servers was probably a low priority for them. They probably assume that a browser is usually used to read docs or download packages.
