Hi Mike,

Both Netscape and Mozilla use the same "user" directory, .mozilla, to do their 
thing when they're running. ergo, when you had Mozilla running and started 
Netscape it "appeared" as though another instance of Mozilla was running. 
When, in fact, it was actually Netscape.

The way to get around this is to setup a seperate profile for Netscape so that 
it isn't looking at your Mozilla dir, or the files contained therein. Once 
you've done this you shouldn't have this problem again.
