I just finished testing this with Netscape 3.02 and Communicator 4.01.
Netscape 3.02 DID NOT appear to fix the problem demonstrated by
going to sight
http://www.aleph2.com/tracker/
A couple of things I did note:
1. If the option to notify the user when submitting a form insecurely
is
selected,
everytime I changed locations, the warning banner appeared in the upper
left
hand corner.
2. In the tool bar that displays what applications are running, there
was
always
one more Netscape process than I had Netscape window open.
Communicator 4.01 did not seem to be affected by the problem. After
connecting
to the tracker site, I was able to move around to several other sites
and none
of
the activity was tracked.
