As you may have seen Netscape 8.0 was released yesterday by AOL. The new version of the Netscape Web Browser was based off of Firefox 1.0.3, which many of you may remember had a couple of critical flaws.
Netscape has released an update to their new browser to address these issues. As with the first release, the release notes for the update contain almost no useful information what so ever. Thankfully, there is a security alert page tucked away in the Netscape web site which will tell you what security issues were addressed in 8.0.1.
Netscape 8.0.1 can be downloaded here. – If for some reason you are using Netscape 8.0, it’s highly recommended that you update your browser.
