The canonical way of doing it would be
"update-alternatives --config netscape"

I have mozilla 1.0RC3 (Debian version 2:1+rc3-2) installed, but I've
never encountered what you described.  In fact,

,----
| # update-alternatives --config netscape
| 
| There is only 1 program which provides netscape
| (/usr/lib/netscape/477/navigator/navigator-smotif). Nothing to configure.
