Yeah, that's something I love about Opera. When Opera 7 comes out, you should look into it - I was playing with beta 1 the other day, and it seems to have fixed the major problems. Unfortunately, it has also replaced the sedate, non-intrusive interface with some unholy abomination directly out of whichever pit in hell bad interfaces go to when they die. I suspect that will be straightened out in the final release. ;-}

That's so odd. I've never had stability problems with Moz 1.1. Are you still using 1.0? That was kinda cruddy. I don't think I've ever managed to crash Moz 1.1/Linux, and I've crashed the Win32 version MAYBE twice (not counting times when the whole system flamed out).
