Am using a Mac G4/OS 10.39. Had NS7.2-ran great then added 9. One day both stopped working. Have uninstalled every possible component. Tried installing NS 7.2,9 sea monkey and firefox.Every single one was unstable and crashed! I moved 7.02 back over from another drive-that did work!. Uninstalled everything and still can not get any new mozilla product to work. Interestingly, my old IE 5 runs fine as does Safari and Mail that comes standard on the Mac. But I can not understand why every program crashed, there is no profile conflict nor corrupt preferences. Have repaired permissions and even disk repair. I am baffled and frustrated. All my other programs run fine. Someone HELP!

Hmmm....

I honestly don't know what you could do. My computer has a similar problem though in reverse; it ONLY runs Gecko-based browsers. Safari and IE don't work.

I recommend you just use Safari.

Don't know the answer, but here is my recent similar experience.

Bought a second-hand G4 Powerbook from a reliable source. Boot sector of the hard drive went bad.

Changed it for another later model G4 Powerbook. Boot sector of the hard drive went bad.

Common factors? Downloaded a) Netscape on the first machine; downloaded Seamonkey on the second machine.

My supplier is going to fix it, but he suspects malware creeping in somewhere, and the only other .dmg file I loaded was PrintFab, which hasn't, as far as I'm aware, had any suspicions around it.

(If you can think of a better solution, please let me know!)
