NOTE: Netscape Navigator 3.01 and Navigator Gold 3.01 for Macintosh are now available in two compression formats: .bin, which is a Stuffit Expander file; and .hqx, which is a self-extracting file.  The .hqx is the default download format and is larger than the .bin format.  If you have downloaded a previous beta version of Netscape Navigator or Navigator Gold 3.01, you should download the .bin format because you already have Stuffit Expander on lyour computer.  You can download the .bin format directly from the FTP sites for Navigator or Navigator Gold. 

Please be advised that three Macintosh software products were found to be incompatible with Netscape navigator 3.01.  Before installing Navigator 3.01 you should download new versions of SpeedDoubler from Connetix and SurfWatch.  IF you use Apple’s Open Transport networking software, your should install Open Transport 1.1, which is part of the Macintosh System 7.5.3 upgrade
