Yeah well, it ain't finished. It was a mistake to release it.
The latest open source release, Mozilla 0.9 is usable (0.8 was the first
release that could be considered usable for anything other than testing
sites)
Don't think they've ironed out all the java issues yet though, and I _know_
LiveConnect is still not switched on (although if you build it yourself,
there's probably a way to do this).

Mark--I can't agree with you more. And I can't possibly tell you how
disappointed I was with my attempt at using Netscape 6. I sent away for
Netscape's CD rather than download the whole package. Once installed, I
found Netscape 6 to be:
* Very slow (although it did tell me it needed a minimum of 233 MHz
and 64 MB of Ram).
* My Logitech mouse was no longer able to page...
* My attempt at doing e-mail off-line failed. Never did figure out
where the e-mail went?
* When I un-installed Netscape 6, I found that it had corrupted
Windows98 thumbnail view for jpg and gif files.
* I played with Netscape 6 for about two days and gave up...
So I'm now back running Netscape 4.7 and much happier with it.
Apparently I never reached the point you did; however, I'm also very
disappointed to learn about the Java problem...
Have a nice day, Gary
