It breaks down like this...
Netscape was redesigned from the ground up.
They now base "Netscape" on the "Gecko"(sp?) rendering engine.
Gecko is free and available to create other browsers.
Mozilla is a similar-but-not netscape browser that uses the Gecko rendering engine.
I use Galeon for 'tabbed browsing' and installed Mozilla on my moms MS machine for the same reason.
(and popup/java controll) They all do about the same thing I think it matters what religion you belong to.
Gecko is/was first with tabbed browsing, but MS/IE has mabey had some good ideas too??? (I-B-ignorant about M$)
Find a flavor you like and go for it!!!
Plugins-etc are a 'challenge' but typically work after following the directions.
I have to be honest, I like because of what it is NOT.

Actually, I did just find another problem with Mozilla....although it's not completely unique to Mozilla.

On my XP install if you have the OS taskbar on auto-hide, and you use Mozilla "Full-Screen", Mozilla goes into the IE equivalent of kiosk mode, where bringing the mouse to the bottom of the screen won't pop-up the taskbar.

IE sort of has this problem and has had it on all builds since the 6 beta...you have to bounce the mouse on the bottom of the screen a couple times to make it work in Full Screen (although it it won't popup in kiosk mode).

And I still can't figure out how to auto hide the Mozilla toolbars in full screen mode...although people insist you can do it...anyone know how?
