I basically started using Linux for e-mail and browsing with Mozilla 1.6 
on SuSE 9.0, so I don't know how it compares to earlier versions.  On 
MicroMuck I was using Netscape 4.78 for e-mail (on W2K) and FireFox for 
browsing.  W-Netscape 4.78 was much quicker for e-mail than L-Mozilla 
4.6, but it also didn't handle foreign languages well and had some 
formatting quirks (and hiragana "a" often turned into a dot).

Now I'm using Mozilla 1.7 on SuSE 9.1 and it *feels* faster than 4.6, 
but that's a purely subjective impression.
