He is probably referring to Netscape <= 4.x
Nobody uses Netscape >= 6 anyway, which is why it is being dropped.

Mozilla and Firefox (and Phoenix and Firebird) are fine in my opinion.
SeaMonkey, Iceape, Iceweasel, etc. seem like suboptimal names to

Firefox unless I really need to specify (I hope no one from MoCo
reads that).
