Netscape Navigator 9 is an upcoming release of the Netscape series of browsers produced by Netscape and published by its parent, AOL. After AOL outsourced the development of Netscape Browser 8 to Mercurial Communications in 2004, Netscape Navigator 9 marks the first Netscape browser to be produced in-house since Netscape 7. [1]

It also sees the return of the classic Navigator name, which was previously used between Netscape versions 1.0 to 4.08. [2]

Release information

Netscape confirmed on 23 January 2007 that Netscape Browser versions 8.0-8.1.2 would be succeeded by a new stand-alone browser release, under the name Netscape 9. Its features are said to include newsfeed support and become more integrated with the Netscape.com internet portal [3], alongside more enhanced methods of discussion, submission and voting on web pages [4]. It will also see the browser return to multi-platform support across Windows, Linux and Mac OS X. [5] Like Netscape version 8.x, the new release will be based upon the popular Mozilla Firefox (version 2.0), and is expected to have full support of all Firefox add-ons and plugins, some of which Netscape is already providing.[6].

On 10 April 2007, Netscape released a theme plugin for related browser, Mozilla Firefox, mimicing the final user interface of the final program. [7]
