This made a real difference in stability for me: Before installing a new Netscape, rm -rf /usr/local/lib/netscape rm -rf /home/*/.netscape Seriously, when I had old config stuff lying around, Netscape's crash frequency was about 10 times as much as it is now that I clean up before upgrading. Turning off Javascript also helps, but may be contraproductive. Also, consider Netscape 3.04 for stability. BTW, does anyone know if its possible to write a plugin for the BSDI version of Navigator 3.04 so that it display *.png files as it displays *.gif files now? As I understand, a plugin doesn't have fine enough access to the display code to do this, right?
