This is true.  Mozilla, however, doesn't use the Linux-style
odd-minor-number is unstable convention.  It could be something to do with
the fact that Mozilla hasn't had a 'stable' release yet - although the
current 'unstable' releases are *far* better than any client ever released
with the name Netscape on it.

Mozilla 0.9.3 is pretty nice, and pretty stable.  There's not really any
excuse for using Netscape 4.x anymore...

Cheers
Richard
