Have you made your changes and then you're surfing along and it freezes or do you click on preferences and it freezes right then? Possibly it's trying to resolve it's host and you're trying to get it to do something else at the same time? Maybe make sure it's completely done loading and you're sitting on your home page then do your editing (when it first loads, it will have the irritating splash screen that won't go away until you do something on screen; that will have to finish before you can do your thing). One final thing, try starting netscape with -no-about-splash option.
