Try going into Edit/Preferences/Advanced and turn off "Javascript"
and it will most likely fix your problem. Every netscape since 3.04
has done this. I've tried the FreeBSD, Linux and now the BSDI versions.
They all do it. I've had the problem on 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5 and now
4.1.
I have a friend who had never had the problem. Go figure..
