Netscape 8.0.3.1 Patched Two Security Flaws
Filed in: Mozilla — July 27th, 2005
The Netscape 8.0.3.1 update repairs two security flaws in Firefox, the open-source browser on which Netscape is based. The first fixes a hole found in several media players, such as Flash and Quicktime, and how they open Javascript URLs within the browser.

One of my friend prefer Netscape than Firefox, the main reason is because using Netscape do not need to open another program when he want to check emails. If using Firefox, he needs to open Thunderbird to check emails. By the way, we can access email client in Firefox via Tools -> Read Mail.
