I've used Mozilla 1.4 on Redhat 7.3 for while, and it's quite stable. I've had very rare crashes, but I kinda abuse it sometime (being a web developer and all) so I am not sure if that's mozilla to blame. Just download the tar-gzipped, and run the installation script. You will have to tell it where to install. You can have it put the installation in /usr/local for example, and so you will still be able to have Mozilla 0.99 still in the system, just different location of binary. It requires the newer JRE, read the release note in the Mozilla website. I don't remember it needing new glibcc, but if you keep your machine updated (with up2date), you should be fine. > Also, I am not sure where to put the newer version of Mozilla.
