Should be no problem for Netscape Navy or Internet Exploder, but what about other browsers I've never used, like Opera, Firebird, etc. Are these as functional as the first two, or more like Mosaic and other early browsers? Would these browsers support Java, Frames, style sheets and so on?
Firebird doesn't exist any more, it is now called (Mozilla-) Firefox. It has the same rendering machine as Netscape. Opera is - together with Firefox - the most modern browser at the moment, especially dealing with CSS specifications where IE is quite bad, actually. To see a fantastic example, look at: http://www.meyerweb.com/eric/css/edge/complexspiral/demo.html but don't take IE if you want to see what it is really about ;))
Assuming firefox and Opera would not support frames, etc. is -frankly said- kind of ridiculous.
More interest? Look at: http://nontroppo.org/wiki/WhyOperaThanks for the mozilla pointer.
MSIE with SP2 is now crippled. It no longer shows file source.
Not only does Mozilla cope perfectly with that CSS test, but it displays source in a -much- better way than MISE's notepad. It can wrap lines and does html colouring.
Also the address line is a google search box.
Brilliant, and I am glad to leave MSIE behind.

google searching with Opera is even easier. Not only it has a multitude of search engines (plus a multiple one) on the bar but by typing 'g searchtext' (minus the quotes) you get immediate access to google unlike Mozilla that takes its good time :-)
