The problem with Netscape is that Netscape 4.76 has some security
problems. Unfortunately there is no native FreeBSD version of Netscape
4.77 and there won't be until the people at Netscape creates one, so
there isn't anything anybody here an do about it.
In the meantime I suggest that you use the linux version of Netscape
instead.
