If you use the installer, you can install over an old install -- the installer deletes the old files.
It's when you install by unpacking a zip archive that you have to make sure you use a lean directory... please get your facts straight before commenting.
The people doing the comparing have hard numerical data (average time from startup to crash for a large number and decent variety of users across multiple operating environments) for Mozilla and NS 4 but not for IE. So comparing to IE would be based on hearsay and anecdotal evidence only.... and the comparison would be next-to-meaningless.
Try turning off TLS under Preferences > Privacy and Security > SSL
If that worked, then the "slight incomnpatibility" in question is that the reply from the web server is broken in such a way that it looks like a man-in-the-middle attack on the connection negotiation.... Now consider whether you want your browser to keep connecting under those conditions.:)
There is also the issue of top's display of threads (really a kernel interface issue). It misleads a _lot_ of people.

There is no debugging code in the prebuilt binaries.
That said, they were compiled with gcc 2.91 and -O1, and gcc 2.91 sucks. Moving to 2.95 just now made a significant performance difference.

Linux is fine with 32M of RAM... as a server. There is no way to comfortably run X in 32M of RAM and expect to run anything else and not swap. Such is life.
That remains to be seen, as the debian packages of 0.9 have not yet been created....

It runs on the operating systems people use... I need a browser that runs on Linux, Irix, and Solaris for my day-to-day browsing. I want one that also runs on Windows/Mac for those special occasions when I use them. What are my options exactly?

This is a known bug in the Personal Security Manager. The workarounds are not to install as root (install as yourself in a test directory) or to make the Personal Security Manager directory world-writable (a major security problem, obviously).
The PSM rewrite targeted for this spring should fix this problem.

This used 0.9.2
Actually, 6.1 is based on 0.9.2. After some stabilization and major crash fixes, of course. :)
and padding on the ol/ul will work fine in both browsers.
Wouldn't it make more sense to fix bug 56301 instead of voting for it? :)

As a matter of fact a number of good restaurants do offer this. The hard part is in the preparation, not in the sheet of paper...
Mozilla builds fine on Irix. Feel free to grab a 0.9.2 tree, build it, and contribute a build. :)
Right. :) The guy who wrote the site is the head of the standards-compliance group for Mozilla...
The bug exists to convince citibank to fix their script. And a user-agent-spoofing panel is going to be in prefs in the near future most likely.

Er... What exactly is supposed to be fixed about the site?
On large mailboxes the front end is up to 20 times faster than the old one when scrolling and the like.
Pretty well. For one thing it runs on the OSes I need a browser on....

Are you building yourself? Or using the nightlys?
0.8.1 is not "orders of magnitude" faster than M18 (as in not over 10 times faster). But it _is_ 2-4 times faster, I would say.
And you can absolutely blame your browser for not handling JS-heavy sites correctly assuming the sites in question use the W3C DOM (and some do).
Er... except that IE has _worse_ CSS support. With the possible exception of Mac IE 5.5, which has very good CSS1 support.
