Netscape 9 will be the first major browser to automatically correct common typos entered in the location bar. Your browser spell-checks everything else you type, so why not URLs?

The New Netscape with Jason Calacanis, CK 'Jason Jr.' and the so-called anchors fell far short of expectations on the previous releases..
Because of the numerous Negative comments by Netscape User's
when the previous Product was released, it was questionable if there was adequate Quality Control and On-Site Bata Testing????
This is Essential before any Major Product is Released...
To the New Netscape Management:
Was any documentation published for Netscape User's explaining and providing assurance that the new Release was Properly QA and Bata TESTED to Avoid User problems???
The New Feature is a good one, providing It Works...
Respectively,

Great feature! I've been using a plugin that does the same thing for a while now, but I guess I won't need that anymore =)

I'm still using 7.2 :(
I have 8 but it doesn't work with dial up, so I'm wondering how does 9 work with dial up???
Some day God willing I will have DSL!!

I also use 7.2 to get my e-mail. It would be nice if Netscape could incorporate mail into their new browsers. That was the the reason I used Netscape, it was easier to read your mail than using Outlook to read it.

All I can say is thank you Netscape. I don't know how many times I've ended up at blank pages because I typed things like ww, instead of www, etc. This is a great feature. Some people mentioned that there's a Firefox extension that does this, but I've never downloaded that one. Anyway, it will be nice to have it as one of the built in browser features.

Anyone cares to outline the main differences/improvements between FireFox and the Netscape 9 browser?

What if the misspelled URL is real?
i.e. google.com and gooogle.com?

You guys using Netscape 7.2 for the mail should check out Thunderbird. It's what your Netscape mail client was based on and has been updated a lot since then.
