Netscape 8 was Firefox with the added option to run IE from within the Netscape 'skin.'
Netscape 9 was Firefox only, with a Netscape 'skin.'

There are 'Netscape-style' skins available for Firefox and for SeaMonkey (which replaced the Mozilla Suite).
The "IEtab" add-on for Mozilla-based browsers provides the "run IE from within the browser" function.

So what we've lost is the name and the commitment of AOL to keep the Netscape brand alive as a browser. However, because Netscape released the Mozilla code to the open-source community, it really lives on. For evidence of this, simply type the URL "about:mozilla" into your address bar. :)

Still, having used Netscape in the early days of the Web before the advent of Win98 and IE, I'll miss it. So long Netscape Navigator, rest in peace. Be proud of your legacy.
