Adding New Netscape Toolbar to OS X Version of Netscape 7.2

One of the new features of the latest incarnation of the venerable Netscape web browser is yet another toolbar, called, oddly enough, the Netscape Toolbar. It is actually useful to some extent (easy access to "clear history" button and a number-of-pop-ups-blocked indicator). For some reason, this toolbar is present by default only in the Windows version of Netscape. Mac users can enjoy this latest innovation, too: download these two files (or click these links while running Netscape):

http://ftp24c.newaol.com/pub/netscape7/english/7.2/windows/win32/bfkprv/netscapetoolbar_current.xpi

Open these two files from within Netscape, restart the browser, and marvel at your new toolbar. ;-)
