I am using SL 4.1 so I have no experience with SL 3.x. However generally speaking, Mozilla
has announced that it has ceased further development of Mozilla suite, so it might be a
good idea to migrate to firefox or another browser now (sooner), than later, since you
will have to migrate anyway. My recommendation is Firefox.
I am using
[root@localhost ~]# rpm -qa |grep firefox
firefox-1.0.6-1.4.1
[root@localhost ~]# rpm -qa |grep jre
jre-1.5.0_04-fcs
[root@localhost ~]#
under SL 4.1 and have experienced no crashes, hang ups or anything. Perhaps it is either a
distribution or a hardware problem. My usual suspect of hardware failure is RAM, and a
nice free program to thoroughly and safely check your RAM is memtest86. You may download
it from http://www.memtest86.com.
