Hmmm.  I did not know that such a plugin existed.  I use plugger.  plugger
is a general plugin which lets you use existing X helper / viewer apps
inside Netscape.

I don't know.  I've been running 4.73 pretty comfortably 24 hours a day for
an average of 3-4 days without crashing.

*blush* you give me too much credit.  I honestly don't understand why some
people complain about Netscape crashing.  I have personally not had it
happen very often to me these days.  Here are some general rules:

1. Download Netscape directly off of Netscape's site.  RH and Debian tweak
the binary in many ways that I don't trust.

2. Disable Java and JS in Mail&News.

3. Use the statically linked motif version.
