Hm, I don't really understand what the mean with this "Netscape 6.0, which we
cannot support for online account transactions due to security reasons.". For
Netscape 4.07 below i could understand, but in Netscape 6 there aren't any
security reasons for that. Also Mozilla supports 128-Bit (and some cipher also
have even more).I think it would be the reason "that is incompatible with our
Online Account", they are somewhat to lazy to implent the new DOM Model of
Netscape6/7 and Mozilla. I'm turning this into an Evanglism bug, then you (or
me) could contact them and ask for supporting Mozilla (and Netscape 6/7) and why
they won't do that.
