Netscape is like that. Live with it.
Well, try turning off java and javascript -- that helps.

There's supposed to be a beta release of Netscape 6 (based on Mozilla)
on April 5, I dont know what platforms the beta will cover but
hopefully there's some improvement in stability. Even the "unstable"
versions of many programs (like Gimp) don't crash like Netscape
does.
