Good to know. It seems that's their way to act.They had a coverage Security Center wp.netscape.com/security/index.html earlier, but all these wp.netscape.com pages redirect to Netscape Browser 8.0 Main Page when writing this.

I did so using both the security address at netscape.com and the "submission form" on Netscape's official webpage. I never got any reply/respons fromnetscape.
Yes, I have similar experiences. I have information that they are reading their bug report submissions, however.
Netscape uses the same rendering engine as Firefox (unless explicitly told to use IE) and as such, will also be vulnerable. The workaround, covered by the Mozilla Team, will correct the problem simply by disabling IDN. Regards Peter Kruse
