'''Netscape 6''' is a discontinued [[Internet suite]] developed by [[Netscape Communications Corporation]], and was the sixth major release of the [[Netscape (web browser)|Netscape]] series of browsers. It superseded [[Netscape Communicator|Netscape Communicator (4.x)]], as the release of [[Netscape 5|Netscape Communicator 5]] was scrapped. Netscape 6 was the first browser of the Netscape line to be based on another source code: [[Mozilla Application Suite]], an [[open-source software]] package from the [[Mozilla Foundation]], which was created by Netscape in 1998.

Netscape 6 was first released on November 14, 2000. Version 6.2.3 was the last release in 2002, and it was succeeded by [[Netscape 7]].

It consisted of the following major components:

* a [[web browser]]
* an [[e-mail client|e-mail]] and [[news client]], ''[[Netscape Mail & Newsgroups]]''
* an [[address book]]
* an [[HTML editor]], ''[[Netscape Composer]]''
* an [[instant messaging]] client, ''[[AOL Instant Messenger]]''
