With the exception of profile location, such an upgrade could be largely trivial.

If they can't all agree on the display of HTML, then I'm afraid to say that the fewer the better. I like the Netscape Add-on idea, use a common base and save web programming waste! A few of the sites I webmaster have top 10 browser stats that look something like this: Internet Explorer 73%, Firefox 16%, Safari 1%, Netscape 1%, Opera 1%, Others 8%. I would expect other sites to show similar results, post if you have them. I think it's interesting info. I wonder how long before the others give up?

Since Firefox is the recommended upgrade path for Netscape users, I wonder if AOL will redirect the Netscape browser download pages to mozilla.com. It would be interesting to have a page (www.mozilla.com/firefox/netscape?) welcoming legacy Netscape users and people going to the Netscape download page, advising them to download a supported version of Firefox.

Netscape seems different in that it made a huge splash in the mainstream, non-technical media. Just think of all the curmudgeonly financial types who got exposed to the name when they IPO'd. Still, even if Netscape did have higher recognition in its heyday, I don't think it's worth much now. I suppose it might be interesting to have the Foundation take ownership of the name, though, if only to prevent another case of brand necrophilia. Hmm, well, I’m not so sure.
