For Netscape, there are packages available, responded to elsewhere.

For Mozilla the problem's a bit trickier.  Up until Moz 0.8, security
was bundled separately under a "PSM" (personal security manager?)
package.  In 0.8+, security support is bundled into the main build and
PSM is AFAIK fully withdrawn.  Unfortunately, Debian still bundles
M18-3, which relies on PSM.  My understanding is that this leaves you
shit out of luck.  Anyone with data otherwise is welcome to respond.

If you're pulling unofficial debs or working from tarballs, you my have
SSL support by default.
