What technology is in the current AOL web browser, Internet Explorer

something else)?  Is AOL testing a Mozilla-based browser right now?

Hi mistercasey,

AOL uses Microsoft Internet Explorer.

http://help.channels.aol.com/article.adp?catId=3&sCId=304&sSCId=3041&articleId=217276

AOL signed a seven-year contract with Microsoft in 2003, in which it
agreed to use Internet Explorer technology.

AOL did test Mozilla technology in 2002.  I didn't find any reports of
AOL testing Mozilla since then.
