I have java and javascript turned off and netscape 4.71 or 4.72 doesn't
crash on java-related site. However, my complain with netscape 4.71 is
this. It sometimes (seems randomly) will go into this cpu-hungry mode and
consume the cpu at nearly 100% for several minutes (usually 3 minutes or
more). During this period, I can't scroll, click or do anything at all
with it. The whole page just goes blank. After that, everything is normal
again. I had the same problem when using redhat 6.0 and netscape 4.5, but
it happened less less often. Anyone has the same problem?
