Actually, I solved this problem in a much more indirect way: I switched to
Opera. I had had problems with Opera back with Opera 6, which originally made me
flee to Mozilla. Whatever they were, though, they've disappeared with Opera 7,
and I'm sold on this browser. Aside from having better all-around font rendering
and Unicode support, it chews up way less memory and doesn't take forever to
load.
