   If you don't need the AOL stuff and want an internet suite, install   
   Mozilla 1.7.8.   
      
   I'd copy everything in the \Application Data\Mozilla folder to the same   
   place on the new computer and see if Mozilla 1.7.8 recognizes it.   
      
   Netcsape 7.x and Mozilla 1.7.x use the same Profile Manager.   
      
   Extension Uninstaller was the only extension I used with 7.2 that   
   wouldn't work with 1.7.8.
