Netscape 7.2 works fine in OS 10.3.7. I must use it to access two of my banks. IE for a crossword puzzle, and Safari for everything else.
In my opinion, the problem is Classic in OS X. OS 9 was just fine in its time.
Andrew wasn't using Classic to run Firefox (at least, I hope he wasn't!) so that couldn't have been a factor.
I have been using Firefox principally for the last few months, and am impressed with its speed and compatibility in general. I occasionally run into a minor thing that doesn't work properly, but that is very rare, especially compared with Safari.
Andrew, what was the problem with the Buy.com site? Were windows just slow to load? Or did something not work? Firefox is so small and efficient that I have trouble believing it could have been related to lack of memory. Perhaps one of the servers was backing up from volume? That would have affected any browser, though.
