A whole 15 minutes?  That's actually pretty good :-p

What really destabilizes it is Japanese input.  If you do a 
killall -9 kinput2 things get much better.  Turning off Java and
Javascript also help a lot.

That first one may be a problem if he actually needs to input
Japanese, where Netscape 4.77 is the most unstable yet, but
if he only needs to display Japanese, getting rid of kinput2
and having Java/Javascript will actually make it pretty stable.
In that environment, I go days without a Netscape crash.
