How to Download Netscape Composer

A lighthouse was sometimes used as a logo by the now-defunct Netscape Communications Corporation.

Netscape Composer is an HTML editor included as part of the Netscape suite of internet applications, which ceased production in 2004 and became Mozilla Firefox. Mozilla now manufactures its own version of Composer, but if you need Netscape's versions of the suite, including the Composer software, they are available from Netscape's archival website.

Instructions

1. Follow the link in the Resources section to the Netscape archive.

2. Choose your version. The last Netscape version to include Composer was Suite 7.2. Make sure you click the link compatible with your operating system (Linux, Windows or Macintosh) and that you download a version of the entire Netscape Suite.

3. Download and install the suite and follow the instructions to run Composer.

Tips & Warnings

• Much of the code used to create Netscape Composer was ported to Mozilla Composer, which subsequently became the Mozilla suite called SeaMonkey, which is a free download; see the Resources section.
