Getting one's address book from Netscape 4 into Mozilla (and I would 
guess Netscape 6 too ) is not a bear! Bring up your address book in 
Netscape 4 and go to the file->export menu. A browser will pop up where 
you can specifiy the name of a ldif file. Choose a directory and file 
name of your liking and voila you have a personal address book in ldif 
format which can be imported into Mozilla by reversing the process. That 
is to say go to your Mozilla address book and hit the menu item 
file->import. Use the broswer to get to the ldif file you just created 
and Mozilla will now have your address book in the "collected addresses" 
section. Just copy these into the "personal addresses" and you are done. 
I moved my own address book in this manner with no problems.
