Or one of mozilla's lighter weight offspring (i.e. galeon and skipstone)
which, I believe, have much smaller footprints. Konqueror's also pretty

The source for the NS6.x releases are available at mozilla.org
(http://www.mozilla.org/releases/#0.9.4.1 in this case).
I also believe most, if not all, of the extra fixes in the NS releases
go into the next mozilla version.
