   I did ask for sites that cause your problems.  If I have the same   
   problem with updated software, that will tell us something.   
      
   If QT 5 is working fine, there should be no need to update, but, as far   
   as I can see, now there does seem to be a problem.  Its hard for me to   
   advise you on programs that are two versions at least behind what I am   
   running.   
      
   It may not be a QT problem, I don't know.   
      
   As far as NS.  7.0 is based on Mozilla 1.0.  Mozilla is now at 1.7.12.   
      
   That's a lot of feature and security updates.   
      
   NS 7.2 is based on Mozilla 1.7.2.  Features are pretty much the same,   
   but that's ten security updates.   
      
   The real suggestion is to update to Mozilla 1.7.12.  It will pick up   
   your Netscape profile.  Just don't run both applications in the same   
   program.   
      
   The only thing Mozilla lacks is Netscape and AOL proprietary features.   
   If you are using Netscape Webmail in NS mail/news, it will not work.  We   
   can show you workarounds.   
      
   If you use a built in NS messenger, it will not work, but the standalone   
   AOL messenger will.
