Well, what version of netscape are you using? It's quite likely that
you can't support higher encryption levels if it's version, what, 6 or
older?

If you visit http://getfirefoxnow.com you can download the current
version of Firefox which, more or less, is the direct descendant of
Netscape. Netscape development stopped for all practical purposes,
years ago, that same browser is spelled "firefox" for the last several
years.

The are suggesting IE and Thunderbird. Are they now controlling what you use for browsing
the net and how soon will they require use of selected browsers?

There's lots of reasons to upgrade from an old version of Netscape to
Firefox. No reason at all to use IE.


I am using Netscape 8.1.2 and I guess I will have to go to firefox. I am downloading it
now. They also acknowledge this in their message.
