Hi Michael, Thanks for the relpy. /etc/alternatives is correct. Netscape runs fine by itself (i.e no mozilla running)... I believe netscape first checks if an existing copy of itself is in memory and if so, it just spawns a new browser window. It looks as though netscape is mistaking mozilla as a copy of itself!
