Netscape 6.01 Rolls Out
Last month we reported on various problems with Netscape 6, ranging from installation snafus to browser crashes.
Netscape recently (and quietly) released an update, Netscape 6.01 (also available in our Downloads library). The company says the update makes the browser more stable and fixes a couple of glitches.
One of them, first discovered by the Denver-based Privacy Foundation, would have allowed a malicious hacker to send you an e-mail message containing hidden JavaScript code instructing Netscape 6 to send copies of all your e-mail messages back to the hacker.
The other flaw was exposed during e-commerce transactions. When going through a secure transaction on the Web, some users noticed with alarm that the little padlock icon at the bottom of the screen was open instead of closed. Their transactions were actually secure, says Netscape spokesperson Catherine Corre, but the update fixes the padlock icon.
