Um, firefox seems to have fixed, or at any rate alleviated,the old old
Mozilla/Netscape bug that caused it to crash if you click on a link
and then immediately click on another link in the same page. (erm, I
should mention that's under winders.)

That bug's been there since the early Netscape4 series at least.
Firefox 0.9  is the first version of Netscape/Mozilla/Firefox that I'd
call stable. (once again, using winders). At least, it's been stable
in the day or so I've been using it!!

Cheers,

Cliff
