Cap'n Refsmmat Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Netscape is based on Firefox, so I think there shouldn't be much of a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newfie Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 Isn't it the other way, Firefox was developed from parts of netscape? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thorN Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 same difference, they share core parts. one isn't an offshoot of the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 Firefox was taken from the rendering engine of Netscape, then development continued. Netscape now takes the Firefox engine, that has been developed by Mozilla, and then re-uses it in Netscape. So Firefox took the code from Netscape, developed it further, and then Netscape used it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
