This release comes off the Mozilla 0.9.4 branch, and is the third major release from Netscape using Mozilla." Kmeleon also has a release today, if you'd like your web with a little more browsing and little less AOL-promotion.

    From the Release notes:

    Known Problems
    General
    Mac OS: There is a known incompatibility between Netscape and WebFree, a Control Panel commonly used to block HTML-based ads. When using Netscape , disable WebFree.

    Keyboard and Mouse Double right-clicking on a page can disable the keyboard.

    Trying to visit a Microsoft owned web page may result in your computer's HCF (Halt and catch fire) instruction being called.

    Ok, so I added the last one.

    The perceived slowness is inversly proportional to your level of zealotry. You'd be suprised what the die hards will tolerate. ;)
    The same formula can be applied to IE zealots' perceived standards compliance in IE.
