   As of 1 February, all versions of Netscape Navigator/Messenger will be   
   abandonware.   
      
   Quoting from the announcement by Netscape Director Tom Drapeau on his blog   
   at http://blog.netscape.com/ ...   
      
   > End of Support for Netscape web browsers   
      
   > Given AOL's current business focus and the success the Mozilla   
   > Foundation has had in developing critically-acclaimed products,   
   > we feel it's the right time to end development of Netscape branded   
   > browsers, hand the reigns fully to Mozilla and encourage Netscape   
   > users to adopt Firefox.   
      
      
   > After February 1, there will be no more active product support for   
   > Navigator 9, or any previous Netscape Navigator browser. This   
   > includes Netscape v1-v4.x, Netscape v6, Netscape v7 Suite, Netscape   
   > Browser v8, and Netscape Navigator/Messenger 9.   
      
      
   > Our recommendation for the nostalgic out there is to download   
   > Mozilla Firefox, and add on the Netscape theme and Netscape   
   > extensions which are available here:
