Netscape 6.2.2 'My Sidebar'

What does the 'My Sidebar' do?
I press F9 to enable it and I can resize by dragging across the screen from the left, but there's nothing inside it. No buttons, no links. Just a big grey empty space. The help file says that you can download 'tabs' to put inside it, so I went to the Netscape Sidebar Tabs site, clicked on a tab to try, but nothing happened.

There must be a use for it. Or is mine broken? Is there supposed to be something in there by default?

I'd like to check out this browser - it looks quite nice.

Any places you can get more themes for it? There aren't many on the Netscape site.

Thanks!

Dale,
Netscape is a very good browser,and makes alot
of different browsers to choose from. But
the one you have choosen 6.2.2 has problems
with it.It seems to have alot of bugs they must work out. I would uninstall 6.2.2,and
install 4.79. This is far a way more stable browser.I know I use it every day.But if want a
netscape browser in the 6 range,I would suggest 6.2.1 and you can get all netscape browsers at(www.sillydog.org)

First off, Netscape 6.x is very buggy mozilla beta code that is more than a few builds behind the actual mozilla. Second, Netscap is littered with AOL junk. Go to www.mozilla.org and download Mozilla 1.0 Release Candidate 1. It is waaay better and has no security problems. I am using Mozilla 1.0 RC1 right now and love it.
