Firefox Misses IE, Nails Netscape Between the Eyes.

AOL is done with Netscape, or will be on March 1 of this year. The notice on Netscape's blog, posted on December 27 of last year (yes, I know its over a month old), recommends that current users of their browser switch to Firefox, since that was what they were doing anyway:

"While internal groups within AOL have invested a great deal of time and energy in attempting to revive Netscape Navigator, these efforts have not been successful in gaining market share from Microsoft's Internet Explorer. Recently, support for the Netscape browser has been limited to a handful of engineers tasked with creating a skinned version of Firefox with a few extensions."

Isn't this akin to being mortally wounded from friendly fire?
