eh, netscape 4.7 was an incredibly fast and stable browser IIRC. but it was being left behind in the features department.

then the next netscape they released was called mozilla (and was a huge rewrite), which had all the features but was dog-slow.

THEN they released phoenix/firefox, which was somehow mozilla but not quite, and that was faster (but still nowhere as fast as netscape 4.7).

that's how i remember it.
