Mozilla 1.7.6, the latest security and stability update to the Mozilla 1.7 product, is now available. You can find the release notes here and my quick and dirty changelog here.
This release resolves several important security issues to bring the Mozilla 1.7 product up to par with Firefox 1.0.1 as well as a couple of additional security fixes which will be released with Firefox and Thunderbird 1.0.2. (An update to the Known Vulnerabilities for Mozilla 1.x should be appearing here soon.)
You can download Mozilla 1.7.6 from here:
I'm sure some of you all are scratching your heads and thinking, "Another Mozilla 1.x release. I thought that MoFo wasn't doing the Suite any longer." Well, you're half right. We're not doing new versions, but we are maintaining Mozilla on the Mozilla 1.7 branch so you can expect to see regular security updates beyond 1.7.6.

Mozinet, it's a "tip" not a requirement.

Apart from overload? Just curious.

Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0
http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/WAI-WEBCONTENT-19990505/
"Guideline 13. Provide clear navigation mechanisms.
Checkpoint 13.1.
Clearly identify the target of each link. [Priority 2]
Link text should be meaningful enough to make sense when read out of context -- either on its own or as part of a sequence of links. Link text should also be terse.
For example, in HTML, write "Information about version 4.3" instead of "click here". In addition to clear link text, content developers may further clarify the target of a link with an informative link title (e.g., in HTML, the "title" attribute)."
