You can't just arbitrarily tell someone that the browser you ship has
security problems and we're too lazy to update so go use another
browser. Advocate the other browsers all you want, but some people
will still want to use Netscape, and for those people they must use
4.77 or disable java/javascript (which should be shot anyways, but
that's not the point).
4.77 needs to be in 8.0 period... from a security standpoint. Either
it needs to be 4.77 (which it is), or it needs to be removed which it
isn't). You can't just *not* update it because it's an inferior
browser, especially when you have a security problem to deal with.
