I wouldn't say that those components make Mozilla less stable. I would
say that the way they are tied together leads to ,pre problems when
Mozilla crashes. I can read news messages just fine, close the Mail /
News window, launch a new Navigator window, for some reason crash while
in Navigator, and then come back and see my message counts and views in
Mail / News messed up. Wouldn't it make more sense to save / freeze the
preferences for each component once it is closed?
