The guys at AOL must be wishing they'd let Netscape 8 cook a little longer... According to reports, it appears that their new baby, apart form having to have an almost immediate security update, breaks XML in IE:
Microsoft has alerted users that Netscape's latest browser appears to break the XML rendering capabilities in Microsoft Internet Explorer.
Dave Massy, a senior programme manager for IE, warned users in a blog posting that after installing Netscape 8, IE will render XML files as a blank page, including XML files that have an XSLT transformation.
Microsoft did not make clear what versions of IE were affected, but a user of the DeveloperDex forum said he experienced the problem on version 6 of IE, which had been patched with Windows Service Pack 2. The forum user, known as cybarber, said this issue has put him off using Netscape.
More from ZDNet.
The moral of the story? Just use FireFox and IE, and leave the dual format browser alone for the meantime.
