Ely, check out Opera's list of supported standards - it's amazing how
many things they gave up (yes, and by a curious coincidence, HTML
4.0's bidirectionality is one of them).

The Mozilla team takes every reproducible crash _very_ seriously, and
that I can tell you from watching few bugs in Bugzilla. Reproducible
crashes with good bug reports are considered blockers before releases
(such as 0.9.1, 0.9.2 -- watch the Keywords field in Bugzilla).
On your part, you have to do two things:
1. Run a Mozilla build with the Talkback utility in -- sure it's
a bit annoying to click Send when the app crashes, but the more you
click, the more that exact crash gets priority.
The nightly builds come without Talkback (which is a commercial
component Netscape outsourced), but all the releases have
Talkback, if you download the Installer.
2. Report crashers! Fill in quality bug reports, with step-by-step to
reproduce the bug and add 'crash' in the Keywords field.
If you know a bit HTML, you can be even more helpful: download the
page and minimize it to a testcase, by removing all unnecessary parts
of the HTML until you reach the minimal needed HTML to get it to crash.
Don't bitch about crashes unless you can do atleast that minimal
contribution (I'm not talking about fetching the source and coding).
