BuildID:    2002052306

The JavaScript property navigator.appName returns "Netscape".
It should return "Mozilla" instead.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. From menubar, select Tools | Web Development | JavaScript console
2. Type 'alert(navigator.appName)'
3. Click on "Evaluate"

Actual Results:  Returns "Netscape"

Expected Results:  Return "Mozilla"

If not corrected, many client-side JavaScript detection routines
will identify Mozilla 1.0 as Netscape 5.0 instead.

The UA Netscape5.0 is Netscape6.0 and this is correct or many pages would not work.
