Here's my rant too:
I had 4.61 installed, and that worked fine. installed 4.71 and that didn't
work to good. went back to 4.61 and all hell broke loose! crashes as soon
as you look at it in a funny way. downloading 4.72 to see what happens.
I can't even turn the javascript off either, because I need it for work.
I'm pissed off with the state of web browsers too. I'm still waiting for a
stable version of Opera. once that comes along, bye bye Netscape...
