It's fairly stable, unless you go digging through the preferences like
crazy like I do (I need to change the font! ;-)  The speed still leaves
something to be desired, and there are plenty of bugs, but it's moving
along (it's _much_ faster these days than what it was just a few months
ago).  One of the problems they've had is that they went through and
made their own widget set that looks the same on all platforms.  I kinda
wish they had just stuck with GTK/Gnome on Unix, then Mozilla would look
the same as the rest of my applications (these days, Netscape is the
only app that doesn't look like the others on my Gnome desktop).  Oh
well, having a cross-platform widget toolkit makes porting easier for
them.

Anyway, you can download the most recent nightly build from
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/latest/ and test it out
yourself.

I remember being the first kid on my block to compile Mozilla (back when
I had to use Lesstif for widgets -- yucky!)  Today the code is pretty
much completely re-written.
