To paraphrase the Moz developers (at least those who post to the newsgroups), Mozilla isn't for end users, per se. Only those users who are willing to test the Mozilla platform. If you want a stable, end user app, go with Netscape 6x, or Beonex. You'll be several steps in development behind Moz, but it should be a much more stable app. Even the pitiful Netscape 6.0 was more stable than the Mozilla 0.8 milestone that was released near the same time. Mozilla's milestone releases are, essentially, a slightly polished nightly. They are not immune to ANY of the problems that a typical nightly might have. That's the main reason I haven't used a milestone release in months. 0.9.4 is the last I installed under Win2K, and I rarely used it, I haven't installed a milestone under linux since I upgraded my COL2.4 to COL3.1 a few months back. In fact, if you grab a nightly from a week or so after a milestone release, you'll probly be much happier with it. Many bugs found in the milestone, as a result of more people using it, will be fixed in the upcoming nightlies. > If only Opera would start releasing versions of their browser for > linux other than these tech preview releases. I'm currently I've got no interest in Opera, at this point. But choice is a beautiful thing...
