Netscape 8.x is a browser only which is based on Firefox and
also contains the IE browser. Netscape 9 isn't out yet, but
its supposed to be based on the newer versions of Firefox.
If you like Net 7.2, then I would suggest upgrading to
SeaMonkey. SM and Net are basically the same program,
except with Net it includes all the AOL/Netscape stuff. Net
7.2 ended years ago, but SM contains lots of bug and
security fixes. The best thing about SM is it will pick up
the Net 7.2 profile and start using it:
