It's actually quite fast. Takes me about 8 seconds to load, < 2 seconds
to bring up mail/news, and I can browse any web site I want and it
renders correctly, and it renders faster than any other browser on my
machine except maybe Opera, but Opera doesn't support anything on the
web and I have to look at a banner ad or pay money.

You don't even use Mozilla, why do you care how stable it is?

6.0 was released because Netscape's marketing team said "We need to
release something, now".

CNet did. Do they count? They said they forsee N6.x giving IE a run
for it's money. Oh, wait, they are part of this "Politburo" or whatever
the fuck little fantasies you have in your head. It's quite a shame,
most boys your age have fantasies about girls. You have conspiracy
dreams. Oh well

no, you don't. In the past 3 months Mozilla has gone from being very
unstable, extremely incomplete in some areas, and very slow to respond
to being just about uncrashable (I have not had a mozilla nightly or
N6.1 PR1 crash on me since mid may. IE crashed on me this afternoon),
very full featured, and possibly the fastest web browser available.
That's progress.
