I just checked out the "known problems with Netscape 6" section of the Netscape website ... I'm hoping they'll come through with some real fixes (dream on?).

At any rate, since many forum members mentioned problems with various secure sites, I thought this quote from Netscape might be helpful.

Some secure (https) web sites are not TLS compatible. TLS is the new version of SSL. If you are having trouble reaching a particular secure web site, try turning off TLS for that site: Open the Tasks menu, choose Privacy and Security, and then choose Security Manager. Click the Advanced tab. Click Options. Turn off TLS. Netscape 6 may not be able to connect to some secure (https) IBM web servers. This is a problem with the servers' software, not with Netscape 6.

If any forumites would like more information about Transport Layer Security (TLS) it's available at the Internet Engineer Task Force [ietf.org] Site.
