There are still mozilla packages available. I have the below installed 
from development.
rpm -qa |grep mozilla
mozilla-devel-1.7.12-2
mozilla-mail-1.7.12-2
mozilla-nss-1.7.12-2
mozilla-chat-1.7.12-2
mozilla-nss-devel-1.7.12-2
mozilla-1.7.12-2
mozilla-js-debugger-1.7.12-2
mozilla-dom-inspector-1.7.12-2


Under /usr/share/applications - there is a file called mozilla.desktop 
which contains an entry called NoDisplay. You have to change this entry 
to equal false to see mozilla in the menus.

I prefer mozilla over the thunderbird/firefox seperate applications. 
They are still out there.

Netscaspe is a different situation. I believe the new Netscape is only 
available on the wintel operating system.
