One reason why some users are forced to use Netscape Navigator 4.7x
is the different JavaScript implementation as well as the included
JavaVM. Old NN 4.7x is more compatible with MSIE-specific JavaScript
then any of the other browsers, including Opera and Konqueror.
Faking the User-Agent id is not enough.

I've found that NN 4.7x runs fine on Shrike, but gives huge CSS
display errors which it doesn't give with Valhalla. That disables
one online-banking site for me (diba.de which use IE-specific
JavaScript and Java code). Changing the display settings results in
non-working JavaScript on that page. Just like Mozilla, clicking the
login button doesn't do anything at all.
