Hmmm... Are there patches available to just fix the security problems?
We can't move much beyond 3.3.3 because Netscape's released aout
binaries have workarounds for bugs from before then, which cause them to
be unstable when those bugs are fixed.
Else, I guess we are stuck with netscape-linux or mozilla... And people
keep breaking mozilla...
