The New Netscape with Jason Calacanis, CK 'Jason Jr.' and the so-called anchors fell far short of expectations on the previous releases..
Because of the numerous Negative comments by Netscape User's
when the previous Product was released, it was questionable if there was adequate Quality Control and On-Site Bata Testing????
This is Essential before any Major Product is Released...
To the New Netscape Management:
Was any documentation published for Netscape User's explaining and providing assurance that the new Release was Properly QA and Bata TESTED to Avoid User problems???
The New Feature is a good one, providing It Works...
Respectively,

Great feature! I've been using a plugin that does the same thing for a while now, but I guess I won't need that anymore =)

Eagle- glad you are back- I love your opinions!
I like 7.2 because I can import my email from my ISP to it.. Not sure if I can do that with the newer versions... I usually use firefox as my browser and 7.2 to check my mail. 7.2 tends to shut down a lot lately, and I am sure that it is due to the new technology that it is incapable of supporting. I am sure the day will come when I will have to figure out another way though. :(

TY, but my opinions get me into trouble.
"7.2 tends to shut down a lot", yes I have noticed that lately, I guess I am going to be SOL if it changes to much and then it doesn't fit. I had to get an indepent email program because of the problems trying to down load or up load attachments.
I like 7.2, but I would like to use the 8 but the dial up doesn't fit with it, it just stagnats, in fact I just tried to open it again. This time it loaded Netscape home page but is totaly blank. I watched the green lines at the bottom show loading but then it just went blank.
I am thinking about trying the firefox because I am getting frustated, but can't expect much in the nest way out here in the woods.

I agree with that too. Although, I've never used Outlook because of all the viruses I've heard of people getting through that program over the years. Anyway, the idea of the internet suite with the built-in e-mail software was great, and Netscape definitely needs to go back to that.

All I can say is thank you Netscape. I don't know how many times I've ended up at blank pages because I typed things like ww, instead of www, etc. This is a great feature. Some people mentioned that there's a Firefox extension that does this, but I've never downloaded that one. Anyway, it will be nice to have it as one of the built in browser features.

Anyone cares to outline the main differences/improvements between FireFox and the Netscape 9 browser?

You guys using Netscape 7.2 for the mail should check out Thunderbird. It's what your Netscape mail client was based on and has been updated a lot since then.
