One thing I've noticed that has helped considerable, although I
currently use Mozilla nightlies more than NS, is to download and install
the Java Runtime Environment from the Blackdown folks
(http://www.blackdown.org). The 1.3.0 version includes the plugin for
NS 4.x and I do know it works quite well with 4.75. Unfortunately, the
packaging system won't let you de-install the NS java package without
removing all of Communicator. Grrrr! So now I'm stuck with two
versions of Java eating drive space. Hurry up Mozilla!

P.S. The Blackdown JRE is supposed to work with Mozilla, but Moz pukes
on it for some reason.
