Mozilla 0.9.5 is rock solid for me. The speed isn't too shabby either,
although you'll most likely notice a slowdown compared to opera or
navigator.

Mozilla 0.9.6 had some issues, so i never used it.

Mozilla 0.9.7 has JS issues, and some memory leaks, but is otherwise
very nice. I'm thinking 0.9.8 is gonna rock if they fix those issues.

I use mozila exclusivelly now. The nice is that you can also use netscape
plugins. Make sure you either build an optimized, non-debug version -- or
if you're into running other people's binaries, make sure you get an
optimized, non-debug version :) (or else it'll be slow, and you'll get a
wrong impression)
