I was running 1.2.1 (or was it 1.2.3?) on SuSE 7.3 on a dual P-II SMP
system (Asus P2L97-DS mobo) with 384MB of memory. I frequently
saw symptoms of memory leaks - downloads that would hang the
entire client (i.e., no response to my mouse; had to go to an xterm
window and kill the processes), certain combinations of actions would
either not perfom the stipulated action, or would totally hang Mozilla.
Problems were in their bug database, more or less. (It's my conjecture
that the underlying problems reported in the bug database manifested
themselves in the symptoms that I saw, however those bugs were
marked as fixed in 1.3, and I heartily agree. 1.3 feels VERY stable
by comparison.

BTW, my symptoms were also seen on SuSE 8.0 and Mozilla 1.2.3 and
disappeared there (on my Asus A7M266-D mobo, dual AMD MP1800+ and
1GB memory) when I went to Mozilla 1.3. I did not try, nor am I
inclined to try, Mozilla 1.2.3 on the dual P-II system that has
since been re-installed with "SuSE Linux Office Desktop" which is
SuSE 8.1 with some apps, but is NOT SuSE 8.1 Professional. I am
running Mozilla 1.3 on the latter right now, and it's stable, too.

HTH,
