I was having an even worse time with NS at work until I realized I had mixed
versions (netscape-common/communicator rpms of a different version than the
one I had installed by getting the tarball from netscape's ftp)  A quick
rpm -e fixed that and it's back to "stability"..

I'm sure that's being worked on, I don't know the particulars, just that the
notes for every Mo milestone say "No Java support for Linux yet"..I can't wait
until that happens, M15 fills the bill until then for just about everything (just
watch out for *heavy* loads when doing SSL, I've gotten it up to 12 or so ;P)
