Maybe because Netscape was in bed with AOL I know when I first started with PC's everyone said avoid them at all costs as it took over your machine.

When faced with two choices, simply toss a coin. It works not because it settles the question for you. But because in that brief moment while the coin is in the air. You suddenly know what you are hoping for.

When IE5 came out, Netscape was waaaaaay faster than the sluggish IE5. IE6 got worse still as clicking the back button seemed to introduce an annoying habit of the browser refreshing instead of simply going back to it's own cached version.
Netscape was a superior browser and the last version i tried a few months ago put it in competition with firefox but it just didn't really appeal to me as much as it used to.
Firefox is far from appealing with its memory eating bug. I've frequently found it chewing its way through 400MB of ram so I gave up on the mozilla based browsers and went back to IE which despite its faults doesn't try to hang my system randomly (it just crashes instead but leaves my OS running).

How much memory does IE use - M$ are renowned for their resource-hungry software.

I'll stick to IE7 for the time being, at least the holes let the memory leak out of the bottom so other progams can use it.

If they didn't fix the bug back then then I have doubts about them fixing it now. It was/is a random bug though which seemed to rear its ugly head if firefox had been running for several hours. IF your one of those users who uses a window, closes it and opens a new one regularly you probably won't be affected.
@Midnight Caller: Where can I get Netscape 4.7 from now? - That was the one I used many years ago and it was marvellous.
