I had a similar problem when I used netscape 4.5. 
A way around it might be to only let netscape download but not display pdf 
files. There should be such an option when choosing a link with the mouse menu.
I am currently using 4.7 and the problem gone. This version has the line
	Portable Document Format 	Plug in : nppdf.so
in the Edit->Navigator->Applications table.
Perhaps inserting/deleting/modifying this line on your system will solve the 
problem?
