If you really need it, try

"Looking for software for Mac OS 9?

Due to the lack of developer interest, build machines, compilers and testing resources, the last Mozilla.org Mac OS 9 build is Mozilla 1.2.1. Click here (ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mozilla/releases/mozilla1.2.1/mozilla-macos9-1.2.1-full.bin) to download this version. Volunteers occasionally provide new updates that may be of interest to users, such as the Mozilla 1.3.1 build by Harunaga Hirotoshi (http://www.t3.rim.or.jp/%7Eharunaga/mozilla-macos9/, http://www.t3.rim.or.jp/%7Eharunaga/mozilla-macos9/mozilla-macos9-1.3.1.sea.bin), and a variation on this build by WaMCom (http://wamcom.org/latest-131/,
http://www.wiwi.uni-frankfurt.de/wamcom/20030723/wamcom-131-macos9-20030723.sit) that includes some Mozilla 1.4 code and extensions. "

The .bin and .sit files are Stuffit files. I don't know it very well, but I suppose you have no trouble opening them in a Mac.

The WaMCom version is probably the best thing you can get at this point for Mac OS 8.6. I don't know whether the others only work on OS 9.

Netscape 6.x was a rebrand of Mozilla 0.9.x. Mozilla only really became usable with 1.2.1, so you may want to give at least WaMCom a try.
