Couldn't agree more with fo3nix. Netscape invades privacy and is heavy with unneeded baggage. Fireox/TBird are fast and reliable, plus, using extensions and themes you can make them look, feel and behave exactly how you like.
One thing only. Make sure you get the "View in IE" extension as maybe 0.5% of commercial sites won't render properly in FF. This extension allows you to transfer the page to Internet Explorer with a right-click.
Thanks both of you - I have downloaded both OK and note the IE advice Have been using Netscape for a long time in preference to IE but am unable to connect to Mint or Egg except with IE so assume this may be the same. Hope adding extensions does not prove too technical So far so good
I am delighted with firefox and thunderbird so far except that it is not picking up my netscape mail I can get to it via my Netscape7.2 only, This was the problem I had with netscape8 too which I have not actually removed can you help further please - thanks in advance
Thunderbird will pick up any pop3 mailbox [I'm not sure, sorry, if netscape is pop3 but almost everything is}.
From the TB tool menu, select "account settings". Bottom left is an "Add Account" button. Complete the wizard. [With luck, you should find the setting somewhere in Netscape mail's menus].
