I have found that the cookie file tends to loose new-lines for some of the entires and then when you attempt to access that site that has the line too long -- there goes netscape. Basicly what I mean is that you will get two sites (or more) that should each be on a seprate line in the cookie file, now on one line, when you try to access that site and netscape tries to send the cookie it has a fit and crashes. Try checking each and every line in the cookie file to make sure that you dont have more than one site listed for each line. I did this, and corrected the incorrect lines and Netscape has treated me alot better since. HTH, Gregg Berkholtz
