I have found 0.9.9 much more stable than 0.9.[78], plus the mail
and newsreader feels much quicker. It seems that the current work
on performance is really paying off, and they're finally
approaching Netscape 4's speed but without the instability.

One thing I had problems with was building an 'official' milestone.
Following the build instructions to the letter resulted in the
build bombing out saying it couldn't build libssl3.so. Running
the configure and make by hand I didn't have this problem, and the
build completed OK. Unfortunately the Mozilla codebase is now so
vast that I wouldn't know where to start in tracking down the
official build problem.
