I just downloaded and installed Netscape 6, and it has crashed 3 times in the last hour. Does anyone else have a stability problem? Other than the crashing, the browser is really nice - I am impressed.

Yes, it is quite unstable. Seems to crash more on secure pages than any other, also doesn't get on with Java etc..

You might find Mozilla itself a bit more stable.

I too like the look of N6pr3 and I think you can get Mozilla looking like that aswell.

For now I'll stick to using n4.75 mainly 'cos it's got plugins and it only crashes around half as often(!)

Hasn't Netscape 6 been officially released?

In any case, I agree. Mozilla is better - www.mozilla.org. (http://www.mozilla.org.) I usually run a recent nightly build.

I just had two more crashes. I will check out mozilla ( I might already have it).
Thanks.
