This made a real difference in stability for me:
Before installing a new Netscape,
rm -rf /usr/local/lib/netscape
rm -rf /home/*/.netscape

Seriously, when I had old config stuff lying around, Netscape's crash
frequency was about 10 times as much as it is now that I clean up
before upgrading.

Turning off Javascript also helps, but may be contraproductive.

Also, consider Netscape 3.04 for stability.

BTW, does anyone know if its possible to write a plugin for the BSDI
version of Navigator 3.04 so that it display *.png files as it
displays *.gif files now?

As I understand, a plugin doesn't have fine enough access to the
display code to do this, right?
