I swithced back too.
Way too much crashing for Phoenix.
Why would you even consider to use the OS that is older and more obsolete than your computer?
See, that's just one of the reasons why I pick Linux.

This is apparently a Mozilla bug. See:

Yup. Just downloaded the Win32 2003-03-08 Moz build. Same problem as my 2003-03-08 Px build.

Edit: Aha! Here's the problem: the 2003-03-08 Moz build lists itself as 1.4a, not 1.3b. I have a copy of the 1.3 release candidate. It lists itself as plain 1.3.

So, we're now back to destabilizing influences from Mozilla for the next five weeks at least, during the Moz 1.4 alpha phase. I guess we shouldn't complain, since Px is still in alpha itself. But it means that if we want to do any bug reporting for the next month and a half, we really should have a same-day Moz build for comparison.

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030308 Phoenix/0.5

Why it still identifies as 1.3b when it uses 1.4a (flickering and some pages rendering proves it)?

Because the all.js hasn't been patched yet. See bug 186680.
