I would suppose that depends on your definition of stable.
I have a little script running in the background that checks at
5-minute intervals to see if anything that greps ux.so.2 is
hogging 98% or more Cpu time and kill -9s it. I see my log from
it suggests that it activates about once a day.

I have a cron job that does
rm -R -f ~/.netscape/cache #DAILY
If I don't use it, netscape fills up my home directory with
~/.netscape/cache/00
~/.netscape/cache/01
.
.
.
~/.netscape/cache/1b
etc
I have noted the following things:
THe runaways occur much more frequently on the basic rigs--64M
memory and p-200 equivalent processor (ESPECIALLY Cyrix
processors).
www.wolfhome.com a site with php3 and javascript will make even
a hefty rig blink out (leaving the kludge glibc20 library process
running but all instantiations of netscape dead after 7-10
minutes normal use).
So I suppose stability could be measured by saying "stays up long
enough to place a web order". It is stable--for most
purposes--for that. One that always killed,
www.computergate.com, I managed to slip into last night--I hit
stop before it finished loading the initial page and escaped the
killer code.

If yours is more than a year old, try this
ls -a -l -R -H ~/.netscape | grep ./ -A 1
The results might surprise you.
Actually the best results I have had are with 4.72 strong
encryption.

Experience--with 4.7 I could not open an Angelfire suite that had
their neat little Javascript-driven pop-up ad. I could with
4.73, most times, depending on what I had been doing.

It is a continuing source of embarassment for the management here
that the users all hate their browser. Many of them were
netscape fans when they had windows, too.
