I've been using 4.77 since I installed MDK 8.0 and I have exactly the
same problem David has and it is definitely [ Java | JavaScript ]
related. I have had some of the same problems with older builds but
the situation with 4.77 seems to be much more aggravated. Some sites
with a lot of JavaScript will lock that puppy up and render it
useless.
One of three things occur. 1) It takes a hard crash disappearing
from the screen. 2) It will freeze and enter some kind of infinite
loop not even bothering to repaint. 3) It will have some sort of a
mini crash leaving you with an empty white browser screen and/or
allow you to return to the previous page but the links will turn red
while you click them but nothing happens.
All three conditions require a restart of Netscape. This is very
frustrating and I am thinking of installing an older build.
One good thing......Konqueror is shaping up to be a very good
replacement to Netscape. Once all the bugs are worked out I think it
will become my browser of choice.
