Versions of both are available for Linux, Mac OS X, Solaris x86, OS/2, AIX and BeOS. For Windows systems, Firefox 1.0 is a 4.5MB download, while Netscape 7.2 takes 11.8MB for the basic browser setup and 24.8MB for the entire package. Firefox is more adaptable and less monolithic in its approach to nonbrowser functions, which might make it a better choice for some enterprises. Overall, the differences between the two browsers are small. To set up the link, click on the icon to bring up a dialogue for adding a new live bookmark.Д«oth Netscape and Firefox support a variety of extensions-add-in programs for new functionality-but many more are available for Firefox. When a site is enabled for live bookmarks, an orange RSS icon appears on the bottom right corner of the browser (for more on RSS, see QuickLink 46266). Under Netscape, clicking on mail opened up Netscape's own mail reader and then asked me to set up an account.ДЇirefox lets you set up 'live bookmarks' with which to view rich site summary news and blog headlines directly in the bookmarks tool bar or bookmarks menu. One difference could be important: Firefox's menu took me directly to my current e-mail client, Microsoft Outlook, and the menu item even indicated when I had new messages. Firefox's slightly simpler sidebar was turned off by default. Netscape's display has more going on, with more options and apparatus inside the sidebar (including the AOL Instant Messenger buddy list). It's easy in both to apply different skins, though I wasn't impressed by any of the skins that are currently available. Netscape opts for a rather bland and colorless scheme, while Firefox uses a simpler, cleaner interface with a tad more color. The overall design of the browser window is very similar in both.

This feature was available to IE users only in the form of third-party add-ins until the most recent revision of IE 6 (the upgrade inside the 250MB Service Pack 2 update for Windows XP). The download managers keep track of all the files you download, with persistent information on date, size and status.Д«oth browsers offer automatic pop-up blocking, which keeps a lot of annoying ad windows at bay. Both browsers include a file manager that lets you download multiple files at once and pause or resume a download. It's a fast, smooth operation.Д«oth Netscape and Firefox automatically import and set up my IE favorites list (a complex tree involving a couple of thousand pages) under the Bookmarks menu. Finally, from any Web page, you can simply highlight a word or phrase, right-click it and select 'Web search' from the context menu. You determine which search engine does the fetching. Just type a word into the sidebar's search box, and links appear below, with the first one opened in a new tab in the main window. Also, the ability to open predefined groups of pages with one click can be a real convenience.ДЄnother search aid involves the sidebar, an optional, multifunction panel to the left of the main window that can display bookmarks, history or search results. Going back to the search page doesn't require a reload or refresh, as a page-back command would, just a switch in the display window. This is particularly helpful when using a search engine, since you can keep the search results in one tab while looking at pages in a new tab by just right-clicking on the link. I really liked the tabbed browsing within Netscape and Firefox it's easy to open up new tabs, keep numerous pages open simultaneously and switch quickly among them.
