Netscape has recently <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mozillazine.org\/talkback.html?article=6173\">released the Beta version<\/a>, and made it available to the general public. When such a variation of the Mozilla code is made available, people want to know the differences between the variation, and the Mozilla code. In this case, we&#8217;re talking about the differences between <a href=\"http:\/\/browser.netscape.com\/nsb\/\">Netscape 8<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/getfirefox.com\/\">Mozilla Firefox<\/a>.

Second is <a href=\"http:\/\/ilias.ca\/MozillaNetscapeRelationship\">The Relationship And History Between Mozilla And Netscape<\/a>.
