Kelvin, Due to the ubiquity of Internet Explorer on the web, its almost impossible to say "use Netscape instead" to my customers. Of course, some customers will voluntarily switch when their browsers stop working. Many corporate customers will not have this option because their standard browser is IE.
When I run Mozilla and attempt to download the plugin, I can't get past the "ACCEPT/DECLINE" end user licence agreement page. I suspect that you are rejecting any browser that doesn't identify itself as one of the major accepted browsers. Since Mozilla and some other browsers take Netscape plugins I suggest that you allow other than Netscape users to get past that EULA. Internet Explorer 6.0 Java and JAVA SCRIPT incompatibilities are going to be a real pain when that thing goes into wide use. I just hope that the problems ARE as a result of Microsoft's incompatibilities and not through Sun's plugin or my code. I'm particularly concerned about the Javascript problems I'm seeing. Javascript is probably in more widespread use on the web than Java.
