Ummm, no, you need to clean netscape. Reinstalling linux is not necessary;
the base system is stable.
A segmentation fault means that the segment registers in the processor are
pointing at the wrong area of memory. Most likely the problem lies with the
WM you are running.
If
/usr/bin/netscape
brings up netscape from a terminal, it is almost certainly the launcher of
the WM.
If that is the problem, there are fixes. Try that and report what happens
