Subject: RE: Tech: Hints for Firefox users
kat...you 'might' fill in with the last version of Netscape. It is 'offically' discontinued, and not supported, but it still works fine, and is built on the Mozilla/Firefox engine.....which means that add-ons from Firefox will work with it and that it has the same ability as Firefox to get to your bank. (I am using it because of some instability in Firefox which causes crashes at weird times)

I suppose that in a couple of years, various things will make Netscape a problem for 'some' operations, and some updates to add-ons (extensions) probably won't be supported....but many software programs that are no longer being developed are still perfectly functional for most purposes.

I have ...ummmm... *blush* 7 versions of Opera, 2 of Firefox, I.E., Netscape, 3 of K-Meleon, and 2 of "Off-by-One" installed. I actually
use 4 of these semi-regularly, and 2 others now & then....and 2 more on rare occasions.
