Seems to be a common thread to some recent newsgroups postings, at least WRT 0.9.7. So I don't think you're the only one. I've been having good luck with the Nightly builds, though (W2K at work). One would think the milestone releases would be MORE stable. However, IIRC, I needed to re-create my profile not too long ago. Just backup your mail files and bookmarks.html file and you can just copy them into your new profile. You could also try changing your chrome. Occasionally that fixes things. But, that being said, I suspect that upcoming milestones (0.9.8, 0.9.9, 0.9.10) should reverse the seeming destablization trend. The Galeon recomendation is probly a good one. I haven't tried it myself, but I've yet to read anything bad about it.
