Netscape 8
 Netscape 8 is based on Firefox 1.0, with security protection in mind. It also guarantees pages render correctly, even these designed for MSIE. Using the open source and most standard support - Firefox 1.0.x's rendering engine, Site Controls features allows you to adjust the security level (Java, JavaScript, cookies settings), and also allows you to switch to use Internet Explorer's engine to render pages when necessary.
new features
* Site Controls (dual rendering engine)
* Multi-Bar (dynamic toolbar)
* Form fill/passcard.
* Live Content.
* improved tabbed browsing
Please Note: Netscape 8 does not contain an e-mail client, and we do not consider this is a direct replacement for Netscape 7.x. Users wish to upgrade to Netscape 8.0 are recommended to either try Mozilla Thunderbird (a standalone e-mail client) or get Mozilla Suite 1.7.x, or simply keep your copy of Netscape 7.2 for email purpose.
Knowledge Base: Using Firefox as the default rendering engine in Netscape 8 for all web pages.
