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.
