Anyone know where I can go to download Netscape 7.1? The most recent version is 7.2, but I need to get 7.1 and can't find it anywhere.

This should point to Netscape 7.1 ... its getting hard to find.

Netscape 7.1

Its nice that everyone chimes in about Firefox, but I still use Netscape 7.1 and like a particular skin for it. You cannot do much with the Firefox toolbar, and forget about a large choice of skins.

Netscape 7.1 is based on an old version of Mozilla (1.4) that has a security flaw. Even 7.2 is based on a Mozilla version (1.7) before the security fix. Until a 7.3 comes out, you might want to get Mozilla 1.7.3 instead.


BTW, why is Firefox always hyped up so much more than Mozilla?

LOL thanks for all the advice which I didn't ask for *smirk*

I actually use Firefox and Thunderbird on all my personal PCs however I really need to find a copy of Netscape 7.1 (for my dad) not 7.2. It just appears that 7.2 is causing a problem on his PC, whereas 7.1 was always fine and I want to see if I can get him back to that. In the meantime I'll see what I can do about pushing him into Firefox ....

on edit: That smartdownloads link only leads to 7.2. Is there really no way to download 7.1 any more? i can't find it anywhere on the net, not even on netscape's downloads area.
