New Netscape Navigator provides more security options, streamlines more standard browsing tasks and arms internet users with more timesaving solutions to their browsing needs. The browser does not contain the proposed new design concept or any new features, though there are some performance improvements. Based on Firefox, the Netscape Navigator options and interface are similar, but brought to a superior level of accessibilty by filling some of the Firefox gaps, such as tabbed browsing, context menus and menu bars.
