They are stable. You should use the ports-collection
/usr/ports/editors/...   and    /usr/ports/www/...
to install the binaries.

As far as I know 2 things will not work:
- StarOffice's database ADABAS and
- Netscape will not be able to display JAVA-applets
  (JavaScripts will work fine).

In case you need JAVA-support you will have to use good ol'
netscape communicator 4.78  .

You will find some native version of Mozilla on
www.mozilla.org
