Well, the profile password feature of the 4x series is at
http://home.netscape.com/browsers/4/passwords
The profile password feature will not be implimented in the 6x series
due to an engineering decision <?> that the password feature provided
little if any real security and therefore was not necessary, blah, blah.
A bunch of us have asked for it <yep> and occasionally repeat the
request. For me, it's not a matter of real security, 'cause with Windoz,
it's a matter of opening up Explorer and just going from there. It keeps
the kids from changing my settings so they can play their on-line games.
It keeps me from having to delete unwanted bookmarks, et cetera. So to
answer your question, with 6x, it ain't gonna happen.
