Hi,

I don't know if this is the right place to send this but here is what
happened to me when I tried out Mozilla.  FYI, I depend on Netscape
messenger for reading my email and have for the past two years or so.

When I started up mozilla and tried to open the email reader I entered
my password and then it just spun as if it was trying to download my
email but never finished. I did not get an error message.  After about
10 minutes I tried to shut it down but it wasn't responding at all so I
used the xwin controls in the upper left and chose "close forcibly".
I've had to do this in the past with Netscape and it does leave behind
the lock file but I could always get past that.  Now when I try to
restart Mozilla (from the AIU icon) I get the error:

xalf: Failed to launch www
child exited: status 2

This doesn't look promising.
