1.3b has been freezing up often, sometines A-C-D shuts it, sometimes computer
freezes, requiring a re-boot. No big deal web pages, sometimes it will freeze

as I could, as fast as I could----NO FREEZE UP.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run of the mill web use
2. sometimes it would freeze after just a few sites
3.

Actual Results:  
Had to A-C-D and End Task an unresponsive Mozilla  OR
A-C-D to reboot, occasionally got no response from multiple 
A-C-D and had to hit re-set button.


Expected Results:  
Should have just continued to work
Seldom see a Talkback.

went back to 1.3a and it is fine.

This was supposed to be about Navigator and I see I have submitted it as

1.3b freezes under win98, that was hidden in the release notes, bug 192294.
Bug was fixed with Build ID 2003021304.
You could either wait for 1.3, or download a current nightly, 1.3 or trunk = 1.4a.
