Just because it's not in Debian stable it doesn't mean the software is
unstable. I'm using XF 4.x, packages from debian unstable and it works
perfectly. And XF 4.0 is indeed "release", it's not in beta or anything.
As for Mozilla 0.8, it's light years ahead of M18 in terms of stability.
Although now I'm using konqueror.

Huh?
Sure, using bleading edge software increses the chances of bugs, but to just
blatantly state that that's the reason someone is having problems is a bit
much.
