What are they saying here?!
Netscape claims to be the No. 2 browser company–after Microsoft–but sources close to the company say that Firefox is gaining “really fast.”

According to Ben Goodger, Netscape has laid off their entire browser department.

My E-Mail to netsacpe
Hi Netscape,
I called 866-541-8233 to disconnect my service and I thought I would have a very pleasant experience like I’ve have had with other utilities when I notified them I wanted to disconnect
Your charging me a disconnect fee. YOU HAVE TO BE KIDDING.
My other utilities do not charge a disconnect fee.
You block popups from other sites but you annoy people with your own popup.
E-Mail. When I compose a message and I hit enter it will double space.
NO word processor double spaces when you hit enter.
I have sent several comments to you but you did not have the courtesy to acknowledge my E- Mails
Therefore I will tell every one I know about the wonderful experience I’ve had with
Netscape
Before you screwed every thing up with Netscape 8.1. The old Netscape 7.1 worked fine.
I could save my urls by going into Netscape file and save the folder “Bookmarks” to disk.
I had local control.
I guess you won’t acknowledge this letter either. I’ll look for a blog.
After going thru all this, I still have to call on the 20th to disconnect.
All other utilities will accept a future disconnect date.

And not recently either, about 18 months ago… in July of 2003. Recall the “AOL Lays off 50 engineers” news from July 15, 2003. Netscape is now a shell of its former self, with the new browser prototype being a hacked up Firefox produced by a Canadian contracting company.
