You got that right. Stay far far away from the beast they call Netscape 8.0.

Fair enough. But Netscape 7.1 is arguably a better Mozilla browser than Firefox, and 8.0 implements tabs more innovatively than Firefox. Unfortunately, developers ignore Netscape, so for extensions and themes Firefox is the one. But man, it is a buggy piece of work. And increasingly vulnerable to adware intrusions.
