I concur with Kris: I've not noticed a stability problem with Mozilla. I
don't much like the look of it, though, so I used FireFox (native) without
problems up to about rev 0.8 or so. Around then I noticed that Epiphany
had stabilized, and I've been using that as my default browser for a while
now. Works fine for me on 4_STABLE and 5_STABLE, and the gnome meta-port
installs it by default. I prefer being able to type search queries into
the location bar, rather than a tiny, squeezed-up search field, the way
FireFox does it.

Cheers,
