<snip> > If you're to install to a low-end machine, just go for NS 4.77. Or one of mozilla's lighter weight offspring (i.e. galeon and skipstone) which, I believe, have much smaller footprints.

The source for the NS6.x releases are available at mozilla.org (http://www.mozilla.org/releases/#0.9.4.1 in this case). I also believe most, if not all, of the extra fixes in the NS releases go into the next mozilla version.
