My experience is that the Mozilla OS/2 browsers are not very stable and just cannot be used for very long. I have not yet tried 0.9.5, though. The IBM Web Browser August release is the most usable Mozilla version that I have yet seen for OS/2. Maybe the fixes are "ugly" but... So is the IBM Web Browser going to remain at 0.6 indefinitely or do you intend to upgrade it to a later Mozilla revision level? > > If you want to see the source code that created IBM Web Browser, you can download it >from > the sight you mentioned.
