Some time ago I started using Mozilla (the open source web browser alternative to Explorer) and have found its tabbed browsing feature really useful, but I have had to give up on it recently because I found it appears to cause my Windows 2000 setup (which is otherwise very stable) to freeze completely at seemingly random intervals when I scroll down web pages. Does this problem seem familiar to anyone?

  1. What version of Mozilla are you using? The official 1.0 release is pretty stable, but I’ve had problems with 1.1 under Win XP, and comments indicate others have too. Nightly builds and betas are a crapshoot.

  2. I had problems with the 1.0 release so I downloaded 1.1 (which is now released) but still ran into the same problem.

  3. FWIW, I’ve had no troubles with the new Netscape 7.0 on Win2K (SP2)… <grin>

  4. Have you tried Opera. I’ve been using it with good results on Win2K Professional.
