"The Mozilla is great; Netscape is the same as Internet Explorer, ..."

Netscape 7 is Mozilla. No relation to IE :)

I don't think she meant that they were literally the same program ... just that the security issues were similar.

This was certainly true for Netscape 4.*, and also to some extent with 6.*. Netscape 7 and especially 7.1 are huge improvements and on balance probably better from a security standpoint than IE.

The latest version of Mozilla (1.6) is a significant improvement on all of them. It hasn't been wrapped into a Netscape distribution, and may never be at this point since Netscape is getting out of the browser business.

No, they are not related, but they are both browsers is what I inferred. I was going to look into Mozilla, but after reading your post about it, I will keep using IE for the time being and stick with he problems I am already familiar with!
