   Netscape 8 is intended as a replacement/alternative for AOL's current IE   
   based browser. If you are not using the AOL system, it would be of   
   greater benefit to use Firefox and Thunderbird.   
      
   Netscape 8 is simply Firefox with AOL enhancements to work on the AOL   
   system. It doesnt do email (tho it does do webmail of course). You would   
   need Thunderbird (or another mail application) to complete the product   
   to the equivelent of Netscape 7 (which is a 'suite' application   
   including browser email/news and more)   
      
   Dont check the Helper applications, check the plug ins!   
      
   type about:plugins into the location bar in Netscape 8
