>From all accounts, Netscape has never been a stable program.  There are live
bugs in it that I remember from Mosaic that were never fixed in the rush to add
features.  As those "features" became more and more commercial linkages to
things like AIM and corporate sites, the bugs remained and the chance of real
problems only grew.

If you have Mozilla available, I would simply ditch Netscape alltogether.  Major
IT News sources have recommended that businesses replace it with Mozilla for
about a year now.
