3/22    Are there any advantages to Netscape over Mozilla -firefox user
        \_ none.
           \_ netscape has integrated AIM, if you like that kind of thing.
              \_ like I said: none.
        \_ If you have to ask...
        \_ Netscape is a discontinued product. -williamc
            \_ since when? netscape 7.1 makes reference to 10.2.x on their
                homepage.
                \_ since the netscape browser division was closed down
                   by aol, dude.
                \_ Netscape 7.1 is based on Mozilla 1.5 and it was the
                   -last- Netscape web browser. Since then, AOL has fired all
                   of Netscape developers (but provided some funding for
                   mozilla project). There will be no more Netscape web browser
                   releases in future. Please don't mention that name here
                   again.  Netscape is dead. It has been for a long time.
                   \_ Long live Mosaic!!!
           \_ "Last week, an AOL spokeswoman said there will be future
              versions of Netscape that are essentially repackaged upgrades
              of Mozilla."  ...that doesn't sound any deader than when they
              started... they're just not putting as much money into it.
        \_ Merc article today about browser alternatives to IE. Langberg pimps
           Opera over Mozilla:

2/5     How is Firefox on version 10, while I still have 3.6 installed.
        I wait for the X.1 versions and they never come out.
        \_ I'm also on 3.6.26.  It claims that versions 4 - 10 are all faster
           than 3.6.x, but do they use more memory?  Thx.
           \_ Newer Firefox versions use less memory too:

9/13    Blah blah android blah, ok other than the bootjack stomp of the
        phone marketing crap of this, does anyone know where to find the old
        Android TCL scripting framework that was used for automating
        and controlling desktop apps (like mozilla for example). Thx.

7/15    Any comment on Firefox 3.5?  Better or worse than 3.0?  Thx.
        \_ currently has an unpatched remote code execution vulnerability,
           don't upgrade yet.  -tom
           \_ Ooh, glad that I asked.  Thanks!
              \_ 3.5.1 just released fixes it, supposedly.  Might be worth
                 waiting a few days to see how it shakes out.  -tom

           understand why anyone else would either.     -dim #1 fan
        \_ Install the Duplicate Tab plugin, and hit Ctrl-Shift-M.
